How can return flows (FTP/SOAP/Procedures) be managed?

Hello everyone,

we would need to receive an input file periodically and then perform some sort of periodic loading, we have seen that it can be done via SOAP calls but is it possible to do it in different mainera as well?

Use case:

We send via ftp a report with data into our system. We receive some data that needs to be entered into the system automatically, how can we handle this return flow?

Thank you very much,

Alfonso
