OK, it seems you should just try something before you ask, it was fairly simple, I just mapped the attachment field directly into the WS field that accepted the base64 encoded file data

Our servers are RH Linux running ARS 7.6.04 with custom apps. I can either send the file from an attachment field or from a file on the servers hard disk.
