By NDM, i take it, you mean Connect:Direct? Connect:Direct is a file transfer solution for the host, because
ftp (the protocol as well as the program) is part of (the) TCP/IP (stack). The hosts native network stack is SNA (or, more precisely "a SNA-based protocol stack"), though. Ones uses LU2-connections to transfer data in this environment.
So, you first need to determine if your hosts still talks over SNA to others. You need some complex machinery including a 3745 frontend-processor and a 3174-compatible cluster controller or a virtualised replacement for the latter (SNA gateway software usually acts as a 3174 with its own NCP to the host) to do so. Many companies have therefore cut their SNA networks and work exclusively over TCP/IP.
If your host uses TCP/IP you should stay away from FTP at all costs: use
scp or (preferably)
rsync which is
both available for z/OS. These tools will save you perhaps days and weeks of shell-programming efforts because whatever you can come up with they do: out of the box and perhaps better.
I hope this helps.
