Hi All,

I am trying to run FTP commands from SAP using SAP FM

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'.

I am ablte to connect to FTP Host and some commands but when I am using its throwing an error - <b>"RFC call of subcommand not implemented" </b>

send <parameter1> <parameter2>

RFC call of subcommand not implemented.

Any inputs what is the error and how to correct it ?

Thanks Raj.

But I thik code you given works to transfer from one Unix Dir or Other (as you are using put command) and I am looking for transfer from Local PC file to Unix File (send command).

If you have ideas how to do that - From Local to Remote would be greatful.

Are there any other commands using which I can do these trasfers.

Thanks,

Durgesh
