Simple enough then. Create your ScripName.ftp file dynamically in RBase and
write the command lines as needed, collecting whatever RBase variable is
needed into a write statement.
When complete, then launch as you do now.

Here is an example of the script
To run from Rbase I launch scriptname.ftp
the help files say you can create variables with the $
like $ftpname="ftp.myftp.com" and could do this
OPENHOST($ftpname,etc,)

# Remember to save the changes before clicking run on the ScriptFTP
window.
# Connect to FTP server
OPENHOST("ftp.myftp.com","myuserid","mypassword")
# Download the new or modified asc files from the FTP site
SYNC("C:\myfolder","/mainfolder/ftpfolder",DOWNLOAD,"*.asc")
# Transfer finished, close the connection
CLOSEHOST

OK.. I get that there are command scripts the are executed toward the FTP
program, but:
What is the environment in which the commands (OPENHOST / PUTFILE) are
run?
Command Prompt? Or does the FTP program host its own scripting environment
like the R> in RBase.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Passing a variable from Rbase
Can a variable be passed from Rbase to another program that can use
variables.
EG
I found an FTP program that I can integrate into Rbase, this program
can
use
variables
In Rbase
set variable in Rbase- set var vFTPHost text = 'My host name'
I know in Rbase the variable will be .vFTPHost but in the FTP program a
variable
is defined with $variablename
Can this be done
