FTP not working

[Former Member]

Dear friends

I am trying to transfer a file from my c drive file name c:\test.csv into a ftp location . I am using the below function modules.

call 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'

call function 'FTP_CONNECT'

call function 'FTP_COMMAND'

call function 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

The first two function modules are giving a sy-subrc value of 0 but the third where we need to specify the ftp command which in my case is " put c:\test.csv " , is not working.

it is giving a command error (sy-subrc = 1) .

Kindy advice me what needs to be done for this.

Expecting a quick help.

Thanks in advance.

Is that command already defined in sm49?

Hi Ravi

Basically I am using "put" command in order to transfer a file from my pc or application server to ftp location.

I did not find any entries of " put" command in sm49.

can you guide me how to go about this issue.

Hi,

I think If you are using the FM : SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, command has to be created in SM49, with FTP FM's you can directly pass the unix commands.

Hi

I am using the below 4 function modules

call 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'

call function 'FTP_CONNECT'

call function 'FTP_COMMAND'

call function 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

I am getting error with 'FTP_COMMAND' function module.

the error is "command error".

When I debugged the function module 'ftp_command' the error description was

FTP subcommand: Local error

Kindly suggest.

Thanks in advance.
