  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.
