We use a third-party software that FTPs SAVFS to our IFS. Is there a way to restore the SAVFS to a 400 library straight from the IFS?
You can FTP directly from any FTP server using a script and/or change your third-party software to FTP directly to the save file. You can also create the save file and restore the objects, if you are so inclined. I use a batch PC file to install one of my products using FTP on any PC. The batch file would look like this:

FTP -s:ftpput.txt

The script (ftpput.txt) looks like this:

 
(Replacing servername, userprofile and password):
open yourservername or IP 
userprofile
password
quote rcmd CRTLIB LIB(ISODBC)
quote rcmd DLTF FILE(ISODBC/ISODBCSV)
quote rcmd CRTSAVF FILE(ISODBC/ISODBCSV)
BINARY
PUT c:isodbcisodbcdist.sav /qsys.lib/isodbc.lib/isodbcsv.file/isodbcsv.mbr 
quote rcmd RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ISODBC) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ISODBC/ISODBCSV) RSTLIB(ISODBC)
quote rcmd DLTF FILE(ISODBC/ISODBCSV)
QUIT
