Ftp from sap server

Former Member — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 13:49:08 GMT

Hi,

I need to transfer my file from sap server directory to a location at ftp.

I just cant figure out how to reach that directory. I wrote to that directory with open dataset but cant transfer it.

I am trying this program to test my command lines

RSFTP002

my sap server directory is when i check al11 it shows

E:\usr\sap\PDD

How should i write this in that program as parameter command

i tried

lcd /usr/sap/PDD

it says invalid directory

Also in my code

CONCATENATE 'lcd' w_file_path INTO command SEPARATED BY space.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = mi_handle

command = command

TABLES

data = mtab_data

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4.

CHECK sy-subrc = 0.

i just get same error please help me what to write for the file path

Thank you

Hi,

First you have to connect to the ftp using FTP_connect which ask for the id, password and HOST name , which return the handle.

Then pass the command either binary or ascii , the type of file you want to trasfter as in ftp_command along with the handle.

then again make one more command

put /usr/tmp/abc.txt   /home/td_F/abc.txt

and again call the ftp_command with the handle you get during the ftp connect.

it will transfer the file.

Note: It will recognize the local commands or file path .

for eg put c:\test to /home/td_F/abc.txt

for this you have to require the put it into the application server then FTP it.

Hi,

Thank you for answers.

I solved it. The problem was the ftp connection options from sm59. SAPFTP from aplication server solved it.
