Error 451 during FTPS transfer from SecureTransport to Mainframe

Problem

Empty file is transferred from SecureTransport to Mainframe over FTPS. An error "451 Transfer aborted due to receive error. File is catalogued." can be observed in the ST Protocol Commands:


 215 MVS is the operating system of this server. FTP Server is running on z/OS.
 TYPE A
 200 Representation type is Ascii NonPrint
 PASV
 227 Entering Passive Mode (X,X,X,X,X,X)
 STOR 'YOUR_FILE'
 125 Storing data set YOUR_FILE
 451 Transfer aborted due to receive error. File is catalogued.
 EPSV
 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||YYYYYY|)
 STOR 'YOUR_FILE'
 125 Storing data set YOUR_FILE
 250 Transfer completed successfully.
 QUIT
 221 Quit command received. Goodbye.


Resolution

Some Mainframes might throw the above error when TLSv1.3 is used. Using TLSv1.2 instead of TLSv1.3 should correct this issue.
