FTP_CONNECT parameters

Former Member — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 07:25:36 GMT

Hi,

I wanto to connect to an FTP server & change the files in a folder. For that I am using FTP_CONNECT.

I have gone thru the web blog & discussion on forum but not getting what I have to pass as host. Also what is meant by user & password that I have to pass.

Enen in standard programs RSFTP002,RSFTP003,RSFTP004 parameters are taken as char.

Please clear my doubts.

Regards,

Dilip

data: p_host(64) TYPE c.

p_host = sy-host.
p_user and p_pwd are ftp user id and password


CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
    EXPORTING
      user            = p_user
      password        = p_pwd
      host            = p_host
      rfc_destination = c_dest
    IMPORTING
      handle          = l_hdl
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS          = 1.

Hi Chandrasekhar,

My FTP folder is on some machine so here sy-host will not work.

Example for my FTP folder is as below:

<b> FTP://nameNAME/folder</b>

I want to access this <i>folder</i>

Regards,

Dilip

Hi Dilip,

You need use FTP_COMMAND after FTP_CONNECT.
