What is initiating them?
Several have this in their joblog.

System: PENCOR05
Job: QTFTP00111 User: QTCP Number: 125139

FTP server unable to determine system name.

Message ID . . . . . . : TCP12F5
Date sent . . . . . . : 03/09/15
Time sent . . . . . . : 06:30:01
Message . . . . : FTP server unable to determine system name.
Cause . . . . . : The FTP server program could not determine the
system name of the local system from the Internet Protocol (IP)
address for the control connection socket.
Recovery . . . : Check the TCP/IP configuration to make sure
that the system name is configured.

The jobs named QTFTP##### are the IBM i FTP Server jobs, some of which will start to service FTP client requests if\after the Start TCP Server (STRTCPSVR) command was invoked directly [or indirectly via the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command and auto-start is defined for the *FTP server feature]. Additional server jobs may be started to service more [concurrent] FTP clients.

The following archived messages mentioning the msg TCP12F5, or perhaps other messages in those threads, may assist:

FWiW: For lack of the conventional "signature delimiter", the above text [unrelated to the topic] was both copied into my reply and copied into the archived message <http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201503/msg00337.html>; that otherwise superfluous text could be automatically truncated by the archival feature [and many clients that perform "reply-to"], if the conventional signature delimiter of the three characters dash dash space appear as the first and only three characters on a line by themselves. Note: The "Guidelines for MIDRANGE-L mailing list" that is posted monthly states effectively the same, reminding that "If you include a standard signature in all messages, consider using the internet standard for signature separator (as defined in RFC 3676, <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676> of '-- ' (that's dash dash space). The list archiving software will automatically stop including the message when it encounters the marker."; or the last sentence slightly reworded, ... automatically omit text including and beyond that separator.
