If it's fixed width column layout why not just create the file on
the system & simply FTP the txt file directly into it?

Presuming you mean a "flat" file with a single field the width of
the text file's record length, you could certainly do that. But, if you
mean a DDS- or SQL-defined, multi-field or multi-column file, then FTP
will not break up fixed-column layout text files into the separate
fields/columns defined on the IBM i.
