The FTP sampler operates on a file only, whereas the other samplers
allow content to be provided via the GUI.

Variables in files are not currently processed by JMeter.

Not easily.

You could use the BeanShell Pre-processor to edit the file, but if
there are multiple threads involved, then you would need to generate a
unique name for each thread, and then change the name. Could be messy.

Might be easier to create your own version of the FTP Sampler to do this.
