Why would you be looking for such a program?  I have an IBM RT on my desk
(and access to a Risc System/6000) which is ASCII based, and use 'ftp' from
our VM host all day.  I don't even think about doing a conversion of the
files as that is taken care of automatically.  If you're really paranoid
about it, then you can as another poster suggested, use dd.

I think you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
