No, FTP is a shell, in which FTP determines what commands can be used. What you CAN do, but this is much more than using FTP, is to FTP a file from machine A to machine B ... ... and machine B on its own running a process, that looks for incoming files, and reacts on them if he sees some. A lot of interface commands work that way. Both processes, the FTP initiated from machine A, and the "processing" on machine B, are totally independant from each other, and this is what is called asynchronous interfacing. Machine A can cause action on machine B, but it remains machine B who decides on what to do, when.
