Is it a plain text file or binary file ? Use file(1) command to find out the type of file. If it's a binary file, then use the binary mode for ftp to transfer the file from your mainframe. Using cat/more you can read text files, not binary files. You'll get a garbled display if you try to open a binary file using cat/more.
