Ftp special chars from Mainframe

I am trying FTP a file from Mainframe to a PC. This file has some special characters due to the use of Spanish and some European language. These characters are not being passed correctly. How can this be acheived?
One option that I can think of is: Pass the hex values to the receiving end and ask them to run a conversion utility. But for that I ahve some queries.
When I do HEX ON on a mainframe screen, I get the hex value for Á as 65 Is this the Hex valu only in EBCDIC format Will the hex value for Á be different in ASCII format?
If yes : 1) Can I get a list of hex values for specials in ASCIII n EBCDIC 2) When I FTP the file will the hex value (65 for Á) be retained as 65 or will it get changed?
