File Transfer Through FTP

Former Member — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:24:27 GMT

Hi gurus,

I have created the pdf from the smartform output.

That I have to sent to remote system, for that i am using FTP.

I have done all the coding for FTP Connection, but i have the doubt of how to put the pdf data into the file that i am passing

through FTP. I am generating the file in the remote system, with some naming rule.

I am using function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER

thanks,

man

Hi ,

see the WIKI http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/WorkingwithFTP+Server

after Getting the PDF data into internal table write into Application server..

then given the source path = application server.

and give Destiantion path = FTP path

and call the below commands in between the FTP_OPEN and FTP_CLOSE see the sample code as above blog.



w_command = "bin'.

* Navigate to source directory
  CONCATENATE 'lcd' source_path INTO w_command SEPARATED BY space.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
    EXPORTING
      handle        = w_handle
      command       = w_command
    TABLES
      data          = ftp_session.

* Navigate to destination directory
  CONCATENATE 'cd' dest_path INTO w_command SEPARATED BY space.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
    EXPORTING
      handle        = w_handle
      command       = w_command
    TABLES
      data          = ftp_session.

* Transfer file
  CONCATENATE 'put' file INTO w_command SEPARATED BY space.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
    EXPORTING
      handle        = w_handle
      command       = w_command
    TABLES
      data          = ftp_session.

Dear Guru,

I am able to send file through ftp to destination folder, but that file dont have any data...

What iam doing is convert the smartform output to pdf through FM Convert_otf.. and then using ftp

FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer it to ftp server. but destination file has not got any data...

in fm

FTP_R3_TO_SERVER..

TABLES

BLOB = pdf_itab

In pdf_itab which internal table i have to pass, which i have defined in CONVERT_OTF.

Just debug and see whether, there is data after smartform conversion to PDF.
