Hi Varatharaj ,

To get the file from FTP server from ABAP program you need to use FTP_CONNECT and FTP_COMMAND function module along with the FTP server user id and password and file name etc.

To read from the FTP server you need to know the user id and password of that FTP server. Then

by GET of Business Connector (BC) you can copy that file from the FTP to the application server.
