One traditional way is to ftp two files. One is that file and another is
another file and your ftp exit point then processes the first file. Why two
files? Because the exit point is designed more for permissions than this
and therefore might try to process the file before it is finished arriving.
IOW, it gets called to see if the PUT is allowed, not after the PUT is
completed.

Another way is to ftp the file and use QUOTE RCMD to submit a command to
process it.

Another way is to use a journal entry process that says the file has
arrived, let's process it.

Another way is to use the exit points originally designed for virus checking
to say a stream file has arrived, let's process it.
