From outside abap, FTP might be a nice solution.

From inside ABAP see the ABAP HELP on OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, CLOSE DATASET.

open dataset p_input in text mode encoding default for input.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message e000 with 'Error on input file read'.

endif.

do.

read dataset p_input into l_line.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

exit.

endif.

split l_line at c_pipe

into i_input-partner

i_input-sorg

i_input-dist

i_input-div

v_junk_data.

append i_input.

enddo.

close dataset p_input.

if i_input[] is initial.

message e000 with 'Input file empty pls check'.

endif.

use above code for your requirement.

Regards,

madan.

You can write a program in ABAP using the commands I suggested to put the file onto the appserver. If you're going to transfer it outside of ABAP, then you'll need access to the app server file system - through FTP or whatever method. And for that access, you'll probably just have to ask your basis team to provide it.
