1. FTP to spool is done by staging onto the "RDRMODE" disk or SFS 
directory accessed by the FTP server.
2. The file is sent to the target user via SENDFILE, so the data arrives 
in NETDATA format.
3. If the FTP server isn't cleaning up the RDR disk, open a PMR.

I haven't heard of any requirements opened on points 1 or 2, so I infer 
that our solution is "good enough".  For now, anyway.
