a dataset is a file

when I use native FTP on my Windows PC I use the following PUT statement and this works fine:
put "C:\Data\Edison\14022020.xml" "'CG061.SMD935'"

If I change the remote folder to CG061.SMD935, I receive
E: 2020-08-27 11:51:33: 501 Invalid data set name "CG061.SMD935/14022020.xml". Use MVS Dsname conventions.

on Z/OS there are some rules: a dataset name without quotes will change with the name of the user in prefix.
example:
* FTP connect with USER FTP001. The dataset (file) SMD935 will change to FTP001.SMD935
* FTP connect with USER FTP001. The dataset (file) 'CG061.SMD935' will not change

I receive following message:
E: 2020-08-27 11:13:50: 550 Mismatched quotes on pathname 'CG061.SMD935'/14022020.xml

Hi,
is it possible to use the FTP command to transfer files to an IBM Mainframe (Z/OS)?

Is there a method to bypass the monitoring of files on Time-change by the Daylight saving time? I have several Tasks monitoring if the Time changed. Yesterday they run at the moment of Daylight saving time. Thanks.
