David, What version of 4D are you using? If it's v15+, with respect to Chuck's suggestion, I'd use HTTPS for the data transfers and JSON/c-objects. It's pretty easy to write an API on the server side to manage such a request and shuffle the data between the two endpoints. JSON is a lot easier to work with than XML, I find.
If you are a SQL pro (I am not) then that's a perfectly viable option, but it's not required.
