Hi Sachin,

The FM FTP_CONNECT is only connect to a ftp server by specifying RFC destination, user name and password. It will not help u upload file from ftp location...

Use the FM's in this order

1. CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

2. CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

3. CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

Usage:

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

user = user

password = password

host = host

rfc_destination = rfc_destination

IMPORTING

handle = wa_handle

EXCEPTIONS

not_connected = 1

OTHERS = 2.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = wa_handle

command = 'ASCII'

TABLES

data = result_itab

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

EXPORTING

handle = wa_handle

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

Thanks for reply

But I am getting error "Attempt to set up connection to ftp://.........failed"

parameters I am passing to 'FTP_CONNECT' are

USER ABC.

PASSWORD *****

HOST ftp://..................................

RFC_DESTINATION SAPFTPA

But if i try to log on by IE i can log into the server with same user ID and password

Is there any issue with RFC_DESTINATION?

Hi Sachin...

Go to Tcode SM59 and check the rfc destination...

Do we need to create new RFC destination ? if yes how should we create new one

I am using the same that is available in SAP

Hi Sachin,

Go to SM59-> select the rfc destination you are using and test connection... you will know if the rfc is working fine..
