problem connecting to FTP server

[Former Member]

Hi,

While calling the function module FTP_CONNECT, i am getting the error 'FTP_CONNECTION_FAILED'.

I called like below and i passed values for userid, password, host, and rfc_destination.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

user = userid

password = password

host = host

rfc_destination = rfc_destination

IMPORTING

HANDLE = l_ftp_handle

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_CONNECTED = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

raise ftp_connection_failed.

ENDIF.

Could you please tell me cause for the error.

Thanks,

Hi,

Call FM, 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE' before connecting to ftp connect.

Are u doing it.

Please check the sample code.

slen1 = strlen( p_sappwd ).

CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE'

EXPORTING

SOURCE = p_sappwd

SOURCELEN = slen1

KEY = mi_key

IMPORTING

DESTINATION = p_sappwd.

*} REPLACE

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

user = p_sapusr

password = p_sappwd

host = dhost

rfc_destination = dest

IMPORTING

handle = dhdl.

You need to scramble the password before passing it on to the FM.

Use FM 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE' to scramble the password and then pass on to the FTP_CONNECT FM.

try reports like rsftp* - e.g. rsftp004
