Is there a way(other then using an FTP Program) to copy a specific file from a users desktop to our BaaN Server?
What I need to do is add a button to a form and when it is selected, it copies the file from the users computer to our server into a specific directory.

Yes there is a way to code that functionality. You can use the ottdllbw dll. There is a function called client2server.
You can get the usage information from a dll by running bic_info6.1 -eu against a particular dll. This will list the functions and any usage information that BaaN developers decided to include.
If you happen to have source code check out how Baan handles the click button event for the drawing button off of Maintain Item Data or any other session with the drawing button.
You do not need source code in order to use dll's.

Just a note, the client2server is the way to go. Just keep in mind that underneath it does perform an FTP, and any FTP restrictions you have on your users would apply.
