You are getting below error, “Unexpected EOF after xxx bytes” while importing the transport request in transaction code STMS. The transport ended with return code 16.

Solution
You can perform a test to determine whether or not R3trans command can read the data file by executing below command,
R3trans -l [data-file]
To further check, open the trans.log file to see if there is error generated from the log file.
From the SAP Note 2050 – R3trans: data file destroyed, the reason of this error occurred is due to when a file was not transferred completely.
The solution also stated, “Make sure the export is complete and that the target directory has enough space for the file. Then transfer the file again.”
