I've decided to use Cocoon as a webapp and run a batch job that calls the required URI, thus invoking Cocoon. The server needs to run anyway so this sounds like a fair solution.
I'll take a look at the SourceWritingTransformer as it appears to do what I need. For now I wrote my own Transformer for the FTP transfer.

If you're talking about writing your own transformer, I would recommend using the SourceWritingTransformer and creating an FTPSource that you can write to. Even better, write a VFS source (giving other protocols too). The source itself could probably be configured to record success/failure, and to only transfer once. > (BTW, Cocoon2.1 is not an option at this point) It's a real shame that you're not able to use 2.1, as it now can write directly to modifiable sources. Therefore, if you had an FTP source, you could generate a page and have the CLI send it straight to your FTP server. > Thanks again ! You're welcome!
