I have used the Serv-U FTP software and I have sent a note to Wirt thanking
him for posting it on the list.  We use it to gather addresses from a
ASK/CA/OMAR/MANMAN system and load an MS Access database as an interface for
United Parcel Service.  The FTP command look like this:

put UPSADDR upsaddr.txt
quote site exec c:\winnt40\system32\cmd.exe /c d:\upsdata\UpdateUPS.lnk

The .lnk file is a desktop shortcut that starts Access with a command line
option to run a macro.  (The last step of the Macro exits Access)

I have had another thought, but I have not tried it yet.  I wondered if
after one sent a file from the e3K to an NT server (or workstation, or
whatever) one then sends an HTTP request using wget (see
http://www.editcorp.com/personal/lars_appel/wget/) and in the URL call a CGI
process that performs the necessary processing.
