This is what happens now:
We got another accumulator file that needs to be brought over and processed together with the original one. We can bring it in in a similar fashion, then merge locally.
My question is there an alternative, to connect to the site, rename both and somehow merge them there and bring in as one file ready to be processed?
Not quite sure why you are renaming a remote file only to delete it afterwards:
I'm not sure you can merge two files remotely with FTP (others can correct me on this) but if you were to use lftp instead, which is much better for scripting FTP as it allows for recovery after failures, you could investigate its cat command:
which when used interactively will save the files locally. I have not tested within a script, however.
