i'm using basic dos ftp to put a file on an AS400,

So far as I know you just issue the command "asc", and the AS/400 ftp server should translate ASCII to EBCDIC for you. This should be the default, but Gawd knows what goes on inside AS/400s, which I'm happy to say I have very little to do with.

(Be warned, if you're doing the transfer in the other direction, there are characters in the EBCDIC set that have no ASCII equivalents, and what happens to them is undefined!)

This web site seems helpful;
