Gadi excerpted the transcript in:
http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1203&L=ibm-main&P=770470
and it was further abridged when you quoted it. The larger sequence,
from my own attempt, I posted in:
http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1203&L=ibm-main&P=893422
is:
Remote system type is MVS.
ftp> quote site encoding=mbcs
200 SITE command was accepted
ftp> quote site mbdataconn=(IBM-424,UTF-8)
200 SITE command was accepted
ftp> get TEST.TESTPRT(TESTPRT)
200 Port request OK.
504 Multi-byte encoding not supported for RECFM=FB
ftp>
ftp> quit
... after the "get". The message is incorrect and misleading. For
that matter, until it was named in the "get" the FTP server couldn't
know the RECFM of the data set.
