Echoing the commands into a temp file gives you the ability to use variables
within the commands. One thought is dynamic file names that contain date and
time information.

Subject: Re: FTP Question - follow up
I have seen this "echo" of commands in other processes and I've always
wondered - what is the point of using the echo command?
I simply run the ftp as inline commands in my job stream
!job send,xxxx/password.xxxx, email
!ftp
open 209.xxx.xxx.xxx
user myname mypassword
cd in
put FB0686538 FB068538.txt;move
quit
!IF FTPLASTERR = 0 THEN
! SET STDLIST=DELETE
!ENDIF
!EOJ
what is the advantage of using echo to build a file to input to the ftp
process?
