Data Encryption and FTP transfer

Former Member — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:53:20 GMT

Dear Experts,

I have a requirement in which I have to encrypt the Payroll Data and then transfer it using FTP.

By reading other post I am somewhat clear about the FTP part.

But, the real problem is that I am not able to figure how to encrypt the data, the utility which I have to use to encrypt the data is a third party software made in JAVA.

Kindly suggest.

Warm Regards,

Upendra Agrawal

Hi,

can you call your itility from OS command line? If yes then you can create an external commnad (transactions SM49 and SM69) and call it from your program. Basically, you will dump your data into file on your application server, call you itility to encrypt this file and then send this file using FTP. Don't forget to delete your original file. It's not the most secure solution but it's suffiecinet in some scenarios.

Cheers
