Error while using FTP_command to transfer files from FTP server

Former Member — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 04:42:43 GMT

Hi all,

My requirement is to transfer excel file from FTP server location.

1) For that I have used FM: FTP_connect to establish connection to FTP server.

2) After that I have used FM: FTP_command and with the command "CD FTP_directory_path" ia have set the source file directory in FTP location.

3) My problem is, when I am trying to set the local sap in bound directory using the command "LCD sap_inbound_directory_path". I am getting error "errno 2: no such file or directoty".

I have tried to resolve that with the help of our BASIS consultant, but the still the problem persists.

Please help!

Thanks,

Rajan U

For inbound transfer to SAP

U can try the following cd <FTP Directory>

then lcd <SAP Path created in Al11 Check if this is created in SAP >

u can try this from command prompt if this is a windows FTP. if this isn't working there then probably a port needs t be opened between SAP appl server and FTP for communication.

get <Source file in FTP> <Destination file in SAP>
