How to delete file on FTP Server using ABAP command?

Former Member — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:30:03 GMT

Dears ,

I have connect FTP server and want to delete one file on FTP server,

But when I use:

data lv_command(50) type c.

lv_command = 'DELETE test.txt'.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = p_handle

command = lv_command

TABLES

data = lt_ftp_result

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4.

The sy-subrc = 2, callled 'Invalid Comand'

I also try other command for example:

DELE test.txt

MDELETE test.txt

all the above commands are have a result : Invalid command.

So how can I delete FTP file use ABAP?

Thanks

I found this in some of my old code:

*Delete the existing file

CONCATENATE 'del' ftpfile1 INTO delfile1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = hdl

command = delfile1

TABLES

data = result

EXCEPTIONS

command_error = 1

tcpip_error = 2.

*End of deleting the existing file

I think it's just 'del' to delete the file.
