FTP command issue

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When I kept my file in FTP server without blanks, then I am getting command error.
below is sample code.

CASE1:

concatenate 'get' filename into l_f_command separated by space.

in this case my filename will be:  test_mm01_data_execute.xls

call function 'FTP_COMMAND'

exporting

handle = l_f_handle

command = l_f_command

tables

data = l_t_data

exceptions

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

others = 4.

CASE2:

program logic will be same, but my file name will be: test_mm01 data execute.xls (there is blanks in file name).

in this case I am getting command error.

Can you please help, is there any extra parameters that I have to pass.

Regards,

Hi Ankireddy,

Thanks for your reply.

my requirement is not to put file in ftp. instead read file from ftp and put in application server.

I am doing all the things, and working fine. as is said in my first message, problem is only when reading file with and without balnks. ( I mean file name with and without blanks)

Hi Prasad,

I tried with and without blanks file, its working fine for me. so please let me know what error you are getting with blanks file.

Hi,

The file name should not have blanks. The command line treats the word after blank as the next command. So in your scenario, (test_mm01 data execute.xls) test_mm01 is teated as file name and data, execute.xls are being treated as arguments for FTP command. Since these are not recognised arguments, command line will throw an error.

While doing FTP, file name should be without blanks as the same rule in DOS command line.

I hope this solves your issue.
