So it appears you still have to do all the old BS. Probably because you're
putting a ".file" but the i doesn't know what kind of file to create - PF,
SAVF, etc. When the file pre-exists the i is merely adding data to an
existing object that it knows the attributes of.

Sounds a lot like

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.

But maybe I misheard you. So I verified I used .file instead of .savf
cd /qsys.lib/rob.lib
250 Directory changed to /qsys.lib/rob.lib
locsite namefmt 1
Client NAMEFMT is 1.
lcd /qsys.lib/rob.lib
Local working directory is /QSYS.LIB/ROB.LIB
bin
200 Command TYPE okay.
put rob.file
229 Entering Passive Mode (|||24356|)
150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
Unable to send data to server.
551 /qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob: Error on output file.
501 Invalid character in command

Doing all that BS we used to have to do with namefmt 0, like making

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
