Connect external file server

Former Member — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 02:37:39 GMT

Hi All,

I want to connect an external file server, and used the function WS_FILENAME_GET to search file list on the server.

During the process , I should input the username and pwd of the server.

How can I save the username and pwd, so the user needn't input

username and pwd once executing the program.

thanks,

WS_FILENAME_GET - local server ( presentation server )..

you want to connect unix server then use opendatset command.

See the some notes for unix server and i used ftp command

Below is the code to get all the files falling in the directory...... .

data: begin of t_tabl occurs 0,

line(132),

end of t_tabl,

data: lc_command(100) type c.

Get all the file name falling under specified directory...

lc_command(3) = 'ls '.

lc_command+3(45) = p_dir. " Directory of file path

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field lc_command

id 'TAB' field t_tabl-sys.

Check any files exits in the directory.......................

if t_tabl[] is initial.

message e006 with 'No files exist in the specified directory ' p_dir.

endif.

Above step will give you the all the fiels falling under the directory specified. But you have to loop through the internal table t_tabl to find the required files for eg: if you know the start few letters of the file name which are going to be constant always....like CWD_CNF*..

To delete the files.

loop at t_tabl.

lc_command(3) = 'rm'.

lc_command+3(45) = t_tabl-line.

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field lc_command

id 'TAB' field t_tabl-sys.

endloop.

The file server just like an sharing file. And i use WS_FILENAME_GET can find all

the files. Now I just want to keep the user name and pwd of the sharing file.

You can store it in a table TVARVC.

Create 2 different entries for username and pwd in TVARVC. You can change them manually or by program.

Or you can create your own Z table and store it there.

Or you can use SET/GET PARAMETER. Look at this:
