Maybe there is more to it that I understand but you could definitely
read the files and write the files if you can connect via a file
share. To me that would alleviate the overhead of doing HTTP
requests to move the files around.

With a share, from an IBI i programming standpoint, the files would
be part of the IFS.

Or perhaps eliminate the IFS\shares entirely, because the scenarios from the OP refer to the use of both database export and database import capabilities. Thus presumably, the data on the separate servers would have been exported-from and imported-into their respective databases as the final stage of the /transfer/.?

And if that is the case, then perhaps just use some form of database connectivity to access the data from wherever the data resides in a RDBMS, or effect the replication perhaps even replicated as full replacement of the data, to mimic the described copy\transfer while having eliminated any export\import activity that requires intermediate copies of the database data in textual format?
