How about the following:

1. Job A step 1 creates a file to transfer.

2. Job A step 2 updates a log identifying file to transfer.  The log should
contain info about where to transfer file, status of transfer, who to
contact should file needs to be recreated, and other info as needed.

3.  Job B reads log and transfer files based on status.  Job B can update
status as needed.  Job B can transfer files itself or trigger appropriate
number of Job Cs. CA7 can trigger Job B after Job A or on some other timed
schedule.  If the log show no files to transfer then no action is taken and
Job B ends.
 
4.  If external customer calls programmer or FTP staff can check the log and
based on status and date transferred inform the customer that the file was
transferred or change the status to be triggered by the next schedule Job B.
