Mathew,
I think you might be mistaken about the ability to exec processes from
within ND. This would be a straightforward invocation of the
java.lang.Runtime.exec() method from within your Java code. An installed
SecurityManager could prevent the exec from occuring, but I don't believe ND
is installing one (or at least not a restrictive one!).
As to FTP, I think you are dead on with the Java FTP code -- have you tried
www.gamelan.com and done a search there?
