Need to use UNIX to access a file from "the cloud"
Normally files are given to us via FTP and we use a program (DMX) to pull that file into our database. I have been told that we will be receiving a new file via "the cloud" and I need to prepare a method to access and otherwise process this file using UNIX/LINUX. I realize my request raises more questions but that's all the information I have. I need to put together and basic list of questions to ask because right now I don't know much about linux beyond running a few executables and changing directories.
What is meant by "the cloud"? I know what the cloud is in a general sense. Should I expect a network address or IP address or webpage or what?
Is it reasonable to ask that this mysterious cloud file be delivered to me via FTP where I can process it as I do all other files?
What commands in linux do I need to familiarize myself with to process this file into a database?
What questions do I need to ask about this file and its location that will help me?
Thanks for your patience.

XCP-XAPI(1) User Commands XCP-XAPI(1)
NAME
xcp-xapi - XCP's XenAPI server
DESCRIPTION
The Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) is an open source enterprise-ready server virtualization and cloud computing platform, with support for a
range of guest operating systems, Linux network and storage support.
XCP addresses the needs of cloud providers, hosting services and data centers by combining the isolation and multitenancy capabilities of
the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage and network virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtual infrastructure
cloud services. The platform also address user requirements for security, availability, performance and isolation across both private and
public clouds.
XCP consolidates server workloads, enables savings in power, cooling, and management costs and thus contributing to environmentally sus-
tainable computing, an increased ability to adapt to ever-changing IT environments, an optimized use of existing hardware, and an improved
level of IT reliability.
This is the XenAPI server, which provides the control plane for XCP hosts and resource pools. To manage the XenAPI server, you should use
either the XML-RPC based API, the xe command line tool, or a graphical user interface such as OpenXenManager.
