Answer Wiki:
I think you also need to set the mode to BIN when doing the FTP command.

For most practical circumstances, there are two types of extensions that make a difference to iSeries: .SAVF and everything else. The .SAVF extension (upper-/lower-case doesn’t matter) can be automatically recognized as a savefile. Everything other than .SAVF will be handled as a plain old physical file.
This only matters for uploads/downloads through the /QSYS.LIB file system. If you’re working through a basic /root file system directory, the extension is irrelevant. All transfers in to or out of /root are straight streamfile transfers.
If any other extension is used for a savefile, you must use CRTSAVF to pre-create the savefile to receive a transfer and retain the savefile format. It can take a couple practice runs to get the hang of it, but it’s reasonably simple once you see it work. Basic tests are easy to set up.

In addition to doing the FTP in BIN (binary mode) another possible problem can happen if you are trying to transfer this SAVF to another i-Series. It may be that the target system is on a different release. In that case you need to create a new SAVF with the target release set properly.
I think you also need to set the mode to BIN…
Definitely. There should be no character conversions allowed for savefile data.

However have tried BIN, as my friends said have created new savf on target iseries machine followed below cmd from my PC
put Target.LIB/XXX.savf Target.LIB/XXXX.savf
it worked fine, thanks to all
