We planned an integration using a similar communication link, a file placed at a FTP account. The idea was to integrate with a CMMS. The solution we provided was to create a java script that fired when creating a file at a forlder, read it and sent it using a web service. The java analyst said one day for developing and testing, so I assume it was easy. Fortunately, the IT office declined this integration method and required the CMMS developers to create a web service interface.
I think that it would be easier to develop an external agent that uses the API, or if you don't have any API expert, using a web service would be easier.
