What you have looks about right, can you show us the error you are getting?

To put the file into a particular directory on the destination, you would add a 'cd <dirname' to your script but mainframes don't work that way as far as I know (they use datasets instead of the convential files and directories). Are you sure it's a mainframe (not just a big unix server) that you are sending to?

To specify a different filename on the detsination, you add it to the put command:
put <source filename> <destination filename>
