you are trying to run commands on the mainframe as if you are running on the PC. If you want to start this on the PC, use a bat file there. If you want to start it from the mainframe, then you need an FTP server on your PC and your target will be the PC (so cd \temp may work if you are exposing your whole hard drive in the server which is a very bad idea for obvious reasons).

You should be trying to use PUT instead of GET, as you are trying to put a file from local (mainframe server) to a remote (windows server), hence if you run this from a JCL, you've to use PUT "MF Dataset" "notepadfile_name.txt"

Or may be I didn't undersand your question.
Thanks
