I agree. The person in charge requested FTP and FTP more or less is an
easy solution. 
If I could quickly figure out how to get the server to call an RPG
program I would do that in heartbeat. My problem is I don't know what is
necessary to do that. I downloaded the HTTPAPI roughly a month ago to
see what I could learn and hopefully someday use. I got as far as
running the test programs, but I kept getting the host unknown error
message. Coincidentally I can't PING anything outside of our local
network. My assumption is that something isn't configured correctly on
our 400, or our Firewall is preventing me from reaching the outside
world. On top of that I'm still relatively new at this company (2
months) and I didn't want to start asking questions as to why I couldn't
reach certain websites from our 400.
