Problem in using FTP_CONNECT

Former Member — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 07:24:59 GMT

Hi,

I have to copy a file from Application server to a specified folder in Presentation server . For this I tried the following FM's.

FTP_CONNECT

FTP_COMMAND

FTP_DISCONNECT

But i am unable to establish a connection using the FM FTP_CONNECT. Exactly what parameters needs to pass to this FM?

I have gone thorugh the forum but unable to get an idea. Here in my case the source will be APP Server and Destination will be Presentation Server . What will be the host i need pass exactly. While i was trying i am getting CERROR (while Debugging the FM)parameter as 2 and because of this the connection was not being established . Please suggest me how can i pass the parameters to this FM.

Thanks,

Bhanu

try this

you have to encrypt your password

CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE'

EXPORTING

SOURCE = p_pwd

sourcelen = gv_slen

key = gv_key

IMPORTING

destination = p_pwd.

p_dest is the SAPFTP Connection, p_host your destination ftp

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

user = p_user

password = p_pwd

host = p_host

rfc_destination = p_dest

IMPORTING

handle = gv_hdl.

Hi Oliver thanks for the quick reply.

I have given destination IP (i.e 157.227.111.24) and the password also scrambled one, but still i am getting the same message like "Attempt to connect to the host 157.227.111.24 is failed". Again CERROR is 2 only.

Do i need to do any configurations for the destination IP .

Thanks,

I think it depends much on your environment

We have for example the user like name@destination@target-IP-Adress , g.. tom@dhl@ 80.121.150.24

And for destination a ip in our environment , from there this package is forwardet to the above ip u2013 but these infos you should get from your system-guys
