SAPFTP via proxy

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 14:11:45 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to use SAPFTP to access FTP server outside local network via FTP proxy? If yes, how to do it? If not, is there any workaround?

Thanks

Hello

SAPFTP cannot help with proxy. But SAPHTTP can be configured

for Proxy Support. This means idealy using HTTP_GET_FILE

FM you can perform a ftp connection by generating a URL

similer to IE. "ftp://"

hope this workaround helps you

Adithya,

I would need set of commands like what FTP has ie. delete file, get file, put file, list file. I think HTTP protocol does not support some of them.

Thanks for the advice though.

By the way I found some FTP proxy software available that can work with SAPFTP. They are Trilent ftp proxy and WinGate ftp proxy. These 2 proxies do not require us to enter user id/pswd to use their services. The way we connect to the FTP server is by calling FTP_CONNECT to the proxy (instead of making connection directly to FTP server) with this kind of user id paramater:

<user_id_at_FTP_server>@<FTP_server_hostname>

Then supply the password with FTP password.
