Thanks for the tip.  As long as there are no other buildparms, that works
great, but if you need any rec or disc options, it doesn't.

I tried "put ./filename.ext .;rec=-1,,b,ascii;disc=1000000" where upon the
transfer completed, the file close failed with "552 File accessed
exclusively. (FTPERR 45)".  Without the "." on the destination filename,
it complained that the filename must start with a letter.

Oh well, closer, but not quite easy and seamless yet.
