i may not have a clue; but here are a couple of things to check. lots of tcpip profiles run with port reservations. the ftp server has to be configured to listen on 990 which is probably is if the connection is sucessful.
but if it is and the mainframe is running RACF(or equivilent) that defines port access in terms of facility, there should be some error messages in the syslog if that is the problem. the tcpip profile should show you whether or not the privleged port are reserved.
