Hi,

Try using the server ports SAPFTP or SAPFTPA

SAPFTP utilizes ftp from the desptop gui and SAPFTPA uses ftp from the application server. If your job is running in the background SAPFTP would not work as there is no connection of a background job to the desktop gui. If you were to run your program in the foreground then SAPFTP would work.

Please go through the link, it may help you.

Hi,

May be you need to open telnet port, I think port 24.

Also check whether your user ID and password are correct or incorrect.

check whether the IP you are giving is correct or incorrect.

In SM59 check connection of RFC SAPFTP
