How about
run ftp.arpa.sys;info="foreignhost"
exitonerror
put thisfile
rename thisfile yourfile
:run remsh.net.sys;info="foreignhost -l ftpuser -n thisfilescript"
put thatfile
...
exit

I would expect remsh to not return control until it had "done its thing", at
least initiating the script. If not, I suppose you could always through in a
:PAUSE, which someday will not pause long enough...

Of course, your Linux box may be running a more permissive ftpd. Have you
tried remotehelp site, to see what it will support? And, there's always
having your Linux box detect the file in its own script.
