Tom,

Don't know if this concept is of interest to you.

I have written a very, very basic ftp server in java.  Unfortunately, the
code is barried on my office pc which I will not be back at until monday.  I
could try find it then if you are interested in it.

If you can't wait, or I am not able to find the code, I found a free java
ftp server that you might be able to use:

Now to the concept:

Would it work for you to tap into the code of a java ftp server that resides
on another pc/server other than the 3000.  When you need to send to MQ, ftp
the file from the 3000 to the ftp server either manually or from a job.

Now inside the ftp server code you will need to find the logic where a file
is received.  In the above mentioned package it appears to be in the
"ServerDTP.receiveFile(String path)" class/method.  You will have access to
the socket in this routine.  Instead of letting it write to a file, you can
put the MQ logic in this class/method and write to the MQMessage and then
send it off to the MQServer.

This may be a bit cludgey, but I really think you could make it work without
alot of effort.  I would be willing to talk you through it.

If you still have to write the MQ logic, I have some source I could share.

Let me know if this sounds interesting.
