I have been working with UTF-8 files rather than unicode. Perhaps my setup will be of help:
Start FTP from Windows by specifying a bat file
The contents of the BAT file:
The target of the FTP has to be a RECFM=VB file because the source file has a multi-byte encoding scheme. And by 'has to be', I mean FTP will not allow it otherwise.
Most people do not have an FTP server on their Windows system, so you have to FTP from Windows to MVS.
