If the module is in an application that is running on the same machine as
the database servicer, then why are you using FTP to move the files around?
Why not just call CopyFile/MoveFile() instead?  Your design is very
confusing to me.

Why does the process require a user login at all?  Since it is a service, it
is already running when the machine is booted up.

If the clients are running on different machines than the service, then they
will not be able to start/stop the service directly.

I think your understanding of "service" may be misplaced.  Please explain
what you THINK a service really is.  Your explanation does not sound like a
proper service model.
