If you install the ISPF WorkStation Agent on the PC, you can initiate workstation commands from the mainframe using the "SELECT WSCMDV" service. For example, you can execute a BAT file or EXE (etc). You could even use the FILEXFER service to transfer the file first, check the return code to make sure the transfer was successful, and then use WSCMDV to execute the workstation command. In other words it would all be part of one process and you wouldn't need to use FTP.
