[...] writing a little script to take a PC text file and write it to a source

you (I've used Python for this). You still have to use other tools for
"browsing", but this is one way to sidestep the FTP transfer issues.

I guess if you're going to write your own scripts, you could also just
write one that does the necessary preprocessing to make PC files that
*do* transfer over correctly using FTP. (Padding to record length as
necessary, doing character encoding as necessary, etc.)
