For security reason you must use SFTP (secure FTP). Non-SAP server must have SFTP client installed and SAP server must have SFTP software installed. Request network team to open the port 22 (default port) between your SAP and Non-SAP sever. Test the connectivity.

Depends on how many times you want to pull the file to SAP server, accordingly you can schedule a job to get the file.

There are many docs on how to configure/test (unix/windows) SFTP on internet.
