Hi,

JMeter can test webservers (load/functional) using the common protocols on the 
internet, most commonly used being HTTP. So if the app you're referring to uses 
a method supported by JMeter, then YES you can use it to test your application 
(your use case seems simple enough). To get a proper answer, you have to 
understand how JMeter works and give us the proper information to understand 
the issue.

For example in HTTP, you have to do a multi-part POST in order to send multiple 
files in a single request. This usecase is supported by JMeter, I use it on a 
constant basis and for tests that require dynamic files to be sent, JMeter has 
became more flexible in the latest version, 2.8. But this doesn't mean it won't 
be quite an effort to implement a large scale test for this use-case. This 
should cover the application part of the problem, unless you want to use the 
app's UI to make that test, in which case it won't work, its not made for those 
kind of tests.

For the scan part, again you have to know what the application does in the 
background. Scanning gives you a file, most probably, that is later sent just 
like a normal file, so the test doesn't change that much - you just have to 
figure out what's the format of those files and how to randomise them during 
actual tests to obtain reliable results. If it uses different protocols to send 
the information directly than those supported, then the problem changes. But 
again, you have to know the specifics of how that is accomplish in order to 
test this properly (refer to previous answers for details).
