Hi Kolusu ,
Thanks for the link but since i am ftp'ing my file into a zip i wanted to know whether it is possible. moreover i am gettting an error "Connection to server interrupted or timed out", "You must first issue the 'OPEN' command".

Arunkumar,

It is possible to ftp a mainframe file to PC and save as zip file. Did you specify user id and password? check these sample FTP commands

Arun has posted this same question twice:

moreover i wana transfer the file in the binary form into a zip file, can i do this?

I think there's something more being asked, but I'm not sure what it is. Seems like Arun wants to transfer any file in binary mode to a PC file with a .zip extension. That's fine, but doing so does not mean that the PKZIP or WinZip utility on the PC will be able to process the file.
