Hi;

I create a program ,it is sending a text file to ftp. It is working manually but when i want to send with a job , its not working.

What you think about this. And which roles the user must have?

For user lack of authority (...) use SU53 or trace authorization with ST01.

But insure you use destination SAPFTPA in background and not SAPFTP which only performs well in foreground (linked to GUI/workstation)

SAPFTP:          starts sapftp on the front-end workstation 
SAPFTPA:          starts sapftp on the application server

Hi,

Why dont you try and create an external command and use the same with FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

Check the link for Command creation in SM59 and its usage

Don't change those RFC via SM59, use report RSFTP005, if required delete existing RFC destination, so report will create them again.
