You can skip the terse step as long as you use the following on your FTP and transfer it directly from z/OS on the mainframe to z/OS on your PC:
TYPE E MODE C MODE C denotes that you are sending a compressed format dataset TYPE E tells FTP that you are transferring an EBCDIC file. That's all I have ever needed to transfer the DF/DSS format dump dataset directly to z/OS on the PC.
