How to transfer save file from desktop to an IBM i system?

I have got a save file from the client that has the requested data and I placed that on my desktop on a Windows PC. I have to FTP that save file from the desktop to an IBM i system so that I can then restore the source and objects present in the save file and test one of the failure cases. What are the steps to transfer save file from the desktop to the IBM i library?
