I can imagina couple of alternatives:

1) Use a reverse tunnel using SSH from your IBM i to a server local to the server. You can add "autossh" to automate reconnection. The only drawback: You need to use SFTP or SCP, because FTP does not play well with tunnels.

autossh -a -Nf  -M 10070  -R 10022:localhost:22 -p 8443 UserID@RemoteServer -C -o "ServerAliveInterval 10" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 3"

In this example the IBM i publishes port 22 as 10022 , and connects to the remote server on port 8443.

2) VPN between both networks. OpenVPN allows to connect from the server to the clients behind NAT with some tuning.


Good luck!
