Hello Priya,

look sample-program rsftp004

you can use the HOST name also.

see the below program which is using Host name



REPORT ZFTPSAP LINE-SIZE 132.

DATA: BEGIN OF MTAB_DATA OCCURS 0,
LINE(132) TYPE C,
END OF MTAB_DATA.

DATA: MC_PASSWORD(20) TYPE C,
MI_KEY TYPE I VALUE 26101957,
MI_PWD_LEN TYPE I,
MI_HANDLE TYPE I.

START-OF-SELECTION.




Your SAP-UNIX FTP password (case sensitive) 
MC_PASSWORD = 'password'.

DESCRIBE FIELD MC_PASSWORD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN.




FTP_CONNECT requires an encrypted password to work 
CALL 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'
ID 'SOURCE' FIELD MC_PASSWORD ID 'KEY' FIELD MI_KEY
ID 'SCR' FIELD 'X' ID 'DESTINATION' FIELD MC_PASSWORD
ID 'DSTLEN' FIELD MI_PWD_LEN.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
EXPORTING



Your SAP-UNIX FTP user name (case sensitive) 
USER = 'userid'
PASSWORD = MC_PASSWORD



Your SAP-UNIX server host name (case sensitive) 
HOST = 'unix-host'
RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPFTP'
IMPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
EXCEPTIONS
NOT_CONNECTED = 1
OTHERS = 2.

CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
EXPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
COMMAND = 'dir'
TABLES
DATA = MTAB_DATA
EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1

COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
LOOP AT MTAB_DATA.
WRITE: / MTAB_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.

do some error checking. 
WRITE: / 'Error in FTP Command'.
ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
EXPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.

Cheers,

Vasanth

Hi,

I have a file on SAP root directory. I need to do FTP and place that file on to an FTP server.

Please let me know what is SAP root directory and how do I see a file placed on it. Does it mean application server.

Can FTP be done directly or i need to place the file from SAP root directory to local server and do it.

Thanks & Regards,

Vishnu Priya
