It looks like the responses from the server are getting out of synch with
your client.  The first 500 entry, for example, rlates to the LCD operation
while the next 200 and 500 log entries both relate to the PUT.  The PUT
operation invokes two sub-commands (PORT and STOR) the STOR of which appears
to be failing because the first two characters are being chopped off.

Assuming that you're connecting to the AS/400's FTP server, have you checked
the code pages you're using on your PC against that of the 400?  My first
instinct would be a translation error between the two systems.

Good luck
