Depends on where the file is put.

That depends which function module you're calling.
We use a script to get data from an FTP server (from the SAP application server); if the server downloads a file it will be uploaded to the SAP IDOC inbox using startrfc, yes.
What you have call and how you find out whether there's a file or not must be decided at your side, we call it like
$PROGRAM -balanced -3 -d $DEST -u $USER -p $PASSWORD -c $CLIENT \
            -I $LANG -s $DEST -F $FUNCTION -g $LOGONGROUP \
            -h $MSGSERVER -E PATHNAME=$i -E PORT=$PORT
where $PROGRAM is 'startrfc' and $FUNCTION = 'EDI_DATA_INCOMING'.
