The translation set up with the site command is for both the PUT and GET commands. At the time of issuance, the ftp process does not know which you will do. So every IBM-1047 code point has a corresponding UTF-8 code point. But not every UTF-8 code point has an IBM-1047 code point. I think that is the meaning of the message you referenced.
