Doing all that BS we used to have to do with namefmt 0, like making
sure the save file already exists and whatnot doesn't help. Gives me
a invalid character error even though you can use dots and slashes
outside of the qsys.lib file system.

The ".savf" file extension for the /qsys.lib file system is an extension of the IBM i FTP server. Pre-create the save file and replace the ".savf" with ".file" on the name specification.

put /mypcdir/downloaded.savf /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/downloaded.file
