Just some wild guesses: If we can assume the token is to provide a common spot for multiple tasks or address spaces, then I'm trying to think why FTP would need more than one TCB or ASCB. I know that an FTP transfer has two TCPIP connections - one for the text commands and another for the actual data. And multiple TCPIP connections are often coded in separate tasks so each can wait to receive input without blocking other processing.

Each time I start ftp, a new name-token pair is created. The name is
EZAFTPnnnn. the numeric part is changed on each iteration. I am trying to
understand the purpose of this name-token pair and it seems to be
undocumented.  Any idea?

Best,
