Didn't test it but doing "help replace" in ftp client says:

replace

Toggles the internal replace flag and the value of the environment
variable FTPREPLACE to either TRUE or FALSE.  This flag specifies
the file placement policy during subsequent file transfers.

on  - sets the internal replace flag and the value of the
      FTPREPLACE CI environment variable to TRUE (this is the
      default state).  In this case, all file transfers will
      unconditionally replace the target file.

off - sets the internal replace flag and the value of the
      environment variable to FALSE.  In this state, all file
      transfers will be conditional predicated on user response
      to replace the target file if it previously existed.

However, don't know how it will react in batch job...

Hope this will help !
