FTP not working

Former Member — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 08:59:55 GMT

Dear friends

I am trying to transfer a file from my c drive file name c:\test.csv into a ftp location . I am using the below function modules.

call 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'

call function 'FTP_CONNECT'

call function 'FTP_COMMAND'

call function 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

The first two function modules are giving a sy-subrc value of 0 but the third where we need to specify the ftp command which in my case is " put c:\test.csv " , is not working.

it is giving a command error (sy-subrc = 1) .

Kindy advice me what needs to be done for this.

Expecting a quick help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sample program for FTP

REPORT ZFTPSAP LINE-SIZE 132.

DATA: BEGIN OF MTAB_DATA OCCURS 0,
LINE(132) TYPE C,
END OF MTAB_DATA.

DATA: MC_PASSWORD(20) TYPE C,
MI_KEY TYPE I VALUE 26101957,
MI_PWD_LEN TYPE I,
MI_HANDLE TYPE I.

START-OF-SELECTION.

*-- Your SAP-UNIX FTP password (case sensitive)
MC_PASSWORD = 'password'.

DESCRIBE FIELD MC_PASSWORD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN.

*-- FTP_CONNECT requires an encrypted password to work
CALL 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'
     ID 'SOURCE' FIELD MC_PASSWORD ID 'KEY' FIELD MI_KEY
     ID 'SCR' FIELD 'X' ID 'DESTINATION' FIELD MC_PASSWORD
     ID 'DSTLEN' FIELD MI_PWD_LEN.

<b>CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'</b>
     EXPORTING
*-- Your SAP-UNIX FTP user name (case sensitive)
       USER            = 'userid'
       PASSWORD        = MC_PASSWORD
*-- Your SAP-UNIX server host name (case sensitive)
       HOST            = 'unix-host'
       RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPFTP'
     IMPORTING
       HANDLE          = MI_HANDLE
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_CONNECTED   = 1
       OTHERS          = 2.

CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.

<b>CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'</b>

       COMMAND_ERROR = 2
       DATA_ERROR = 3
       OTHERS = 4.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  LOOP AT MTAB_DATA.
    WRITE: / MTAB_DATA.
  ENDLOOP.
ELSE.

Hi Ravi

Basically I am using "put" command in order to transfer a file from my pc or application server to ftp location.

I did not find any entries of " put" command in sm49.

can you guide me how to go about this issue.

Regards

Hi,

I think If you are using the FM : SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, command has to be created in SM49, with FTP FM's you can directly pass the unix commands.

I am using the below 4 function modules

call 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'

call function 'FTP_CONNECT'

call function 'FTP_COMMAND'

call function 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

I am getting error with 'FTP_COMMAND' function module.

the error is "command error".

When I debugged the function module 'ftp_command' the error description was

FTP subcommand: Local error

Kindly suggest.

Thanks in advance.
