Assuming that you're running Warp Connect...look at Information->REXX FTP API.
I have used it to do up an Areafix-like util that parses an echomail area
for msgs that contain lines in the body with hostname/path/filename.ext,
FTP's the file and then forwards it to the requesting address as a file
attach.  It's not exactly "robust", but it worked well enough for
my purposes.
