I don't know if you utility ftptransfer can process stdin. If so you could use a "here document" .
For example (I do not know filetransfer, so it is just a guess if it works that way, you would need to check the manual):
If you are using modern bash, ksh93 or zsh you could also try process substitution, something like:
or turn a here document in to a "file"
or an example using a here-string
