I can confirm that. The FTP allows naming a .FILE without a .MBR which even makes the request seem more intuitive since the device file type PRTF can have no members. Last I recall, CPYFRMSTMF neither allowed that naming nor any capability to write to a printer file even with overrides to the file name being opened :-(

Both the FTP subcommands PUT and GET allow a target name of a program described printer file, such as:

PUT mydata.txt /qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/qprint.file

When the client and server are the same, the GET is "nicer" IMO, for producing the spool file in the local job. For a PUT [e.g. as required when the client is not the IBM i] I would typically first issue an override to the printer file, to ensure desired SplF ownership [and\or possibly other attributes] like with either [or both like-scoped] of:

QUOTE RCMD OVRPRTF *PRTF HOLD(*YES) SPLFOWN(*CURUSRPRF) OVRSCOPE(*JOB) OUTQ(MyOutQ)

QUOTE RCMD OVRPRTF QPRINT SPLFOWN(*CURUSRPRF) SPLFNAME(mydata) /* OVRSCOPE(*JOB) */
