FTP server connection?

[Former Member]

I am using ftp_connect to connect to a FTP server but getting error, what is the thing I am mising in that?

This code I got from SDN discussion. The function

HTTP_SCRAMBLE gives me the encrypted password but I want to know what is this key parameter?

If I enter 'ftp:
192.168.16.21\scan' it gices me error saying connection failed.

And if i enter only '192.168.16.21' it shows error that you are not authorised to access this. Where as If I try to put this 'ftp:
192.168.16.21\scan' in address bar it opens the location.

data l_passwd(30) TYPE c.

CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE'

EXPORTING

SOURCE = 'x1y2z3'

SOURCELEN = 6

KEY = 26101957

IMPORTING

DESTINATION = l_passwd

.

DATA W_HANDLE TYPE I.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

USER = 'x1y2z3'

PASSWORD = l_passwd

• ACCOUNT =

HOST = '192.168.16.21'

RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPFTP'

• GATEWAY_USER =

• GATEWAY_PASSWORD =

• GATEWAY_HOST =

IMPORTING

HANDLE = W_HANDLE

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_CONNECTED = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Dilip,

As I understand, you have to pass the password as plane character datatype to FTP_CONNECT. What I mean is that it cannot be an encrypted password. I will suggest following code:

data:l_passwd(10) value 'YouRpAswd'. "Case sensitive

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

USER = 'x1y2z3'

PASSWORD = l_passwd
