FTP File

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have never used FTP_CONNECT and FTP_COMMAND Function Modules before. I need to use this for one of the interfaces I am working on (get a file from an FTP server to SAP R/3). Where does the file gets saved/copied after I use the 'get' command? I mean is there a specific directory where I can pick the file from? Do I have to specify this in the program?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can get enough information from this blog by Thomas Jung.

Also you can search the ABAP Forum for posts and example code.

Thanks

Hi Vinod,

I don't see those radio buttons. I wanted to give you a 10, but I can't see the buttons.

In FTP_COMMAND itself you can give directory name where you want to PUT/GET file. For example, search this forum or 'where used list'.

Hi Sanjay,

I used this syntax when I run the program RSFTP002 just to test the get command:

get test.dat /tmp/test.dat

where /tmp/test.dat is my SAP Unix directory.

But when I went into the unix server, I did not find test.dat.

Am I using the correct syntax?
