FTP_Connect error

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to get a solution (I already posted earlirer regarding same issue ) to connect to ftp using FTP_connect FM. FTP server is a local and i am trying to fetch the files from that.

I have tested the connection using rsftp002 program n everything is looking ok. But while using the the FM in the program it throws an error tht

"user xyz has no access authorization for computer x-server" where in x-server is the FTP server name and xyz is user name to server. I have even encrypted the password of the ftp server and sending it inthe program.

What might be the probelm. Can anyone explain

Hi,

It appears that you don't have authorization to access the FTP server.

Check your authentication to access that FTP server with the concerned Basis people.

hello Anji,

I can access the FTP server from OS level. Will that not be enough? IF not please let me know how to do it.

Hi Rahul,

We had the same problem. FTP works fine from command prompts but not from SAP. The solution was to reduce the ftp password.

Within ABAP there is some character translation for the password and it won't handle more than about 8 characters.
