We have done this by sending the file via SNDNETF and right afterwards
sending a SNDNETJOB(or is it SBMNETJOB) which goes to the same location
as the NETF and does the receive function(RCVNETF) unpacks it an processes
the file.  
If you need a code example contact me off line and I'll share it.

P.S. I've done the same thing with APPC and also DDM.
