As you are using plain FTP between the servers, I assume that you trust the network to handle unencryted traffic. Could you consider a command to follow the FTP code you have written to put the file to issue a remote shell command to the destination?
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#
ftp -n <<-EOFTP
open $destination
user bob password
cd $target_dir
put $file $targetfile
quit
EOFTP

rsh $destination "$shell_command with parameters"

You will need to open up the destination to accept the remote shell command, but if that is the way to go, we can talk about that later.

Many here will probably suggest that SFTP is a better method, and with that you would SSH remotely run the command, but I cannot comment on how to set that up.



I hope that this is useful.

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
