[Former Member]

I'm creating ACH file using program RFPNFC00 which goes and stores in the application server. I need to ping this file from application server to FTP for which i wanna know which one is the best way to do is that with FM CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT' or shall i ask the Unix guy to write a small script to ping the file from app server to FTP.

Basically can anyone lemme know the advantages and disadvantages of Unix script and ABAP code to ping the file to FTP.

Venkat,

it depends on the security-configuration in your company.

If you're authorized use SAP-FTP -> look sample program RSFTP004

hope that helps
