Hi Satish,

In Both are same except passing RFC destination.

In FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT Passing of RFC destination is mandatory in function module that is static. Means if should be in importing parameters. It cannot be dynamic.

In FTP_R3_TO_SERVER you can pass RFC destination dynamically.

Hi,

So If I understood correctly, FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT can be called without using the FMs FTP_CONNECT etc .. before whereas FTP_R3_TO_SERVER needs them. Is that or am I missing something.

Hi Sathish,

In the function module FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT we need to specify the RFC destination where as FTP_R3_TO_SERVER we won't provide it but at the same time FTP handle.

so what you writen here is right mr Sathish

Function module FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT: RFC destination needs to be specified.

Function Module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER: The host will be taken during execution of the same wherein the username & password will be provided to connect remote host and data can be passed to the host system.
