How do you want this to work? Can the FTP transfer occur right after 
putting the file in the IFS? If so, you can build an FTP script to handle
this.

You need to build the script (I used Query Management query to replace 
lines in a shell, using substitution variables for the password and 
filename), something like this and modified to your needs:

&userid &password
nam 1
lcd &localpath
cd &remotepath
bin
put &localfilename [&remotefilename]
quit

The script can be a single-field data physical or a source physical.

     Note: Depending on the remote FTP server, the &userid and
         &password may need to be on separate lines.

     Note: There is a security issue, because the password and user
         ID are exposed. It might be a good idea to use anonymous login
         at the remote FTP server, with appropriate directory restrictions
         there.

Then run the following - the override of OUTPUT gives you a printout of the 
results.

/* Execute FTP script */
              OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(QTEMP/FTPSCRIPT)
              OVRPRTF    FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(QPRINT)
              FTP        RMTSYS(&IPADDR)
              DLTOVR     FILE(INPUT OUTPUT)
