Problem while placing file in FTP

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am facing problem while placing file in FTP.

Here are the details:

Am using following function modules.

USER = 'XXXXX'.

HOST = 'XXX.XX.XX.XX'.

pwd = 'xxxx'.

*--SCRAMBLE PASSWORD

DESCRIBE FIELD PWD LENGTH DSTLEN.

CALL 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'

ID 'SOURCE' FIELD PWD ID 'KEY' FIELD KEY

ID 'SCR' FIELD 'X' ID 'DESTINATION' FIELD PWD

ID 'DSTLEN' FIELD DSTLEN.

*--FTP CONNECT

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

USER = USER

PASSWORD = pwd

• ACCOUNT =

HOST = HOST

RFC_DESTINATION = DEST

• GATEWAY_USER =

• GATEWAY_PASSWORD =

• GATEWAY_HOST =

IMPORTING

HANDLE = HDL

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.

*--FTP COMMAND

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

HANDLE = HDL

COMMAND = CMD1

• COMPRESS =

• VERIFY =

• IMPORTING

• FILESIZE =

• FILEDATE =

• FILETIME =

TABLES

DATA = RESULT

EXCEPTIONS

TCPIP_ERROR = 1

COMMAND_ERROR = 2

DATA_ERROR = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

*--FTP DISCONNECT

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'

EXPORTING

HANDLE = HDL.

Problem is with 'FTP_CONNECT'. Function Module is returning SY-SUBRC = 1.

Basis is able to Place file in the specified FTP location.

But through our program am facing problem.

I have also tried the function module CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

But it is returning following messages as

" Can't Execute External program(EXEC format Error)"

" External program terminated with Exit Code 1"

Thanks,

Sudhakar.

Hello Sudhakar

What TCP/IP connection do you use as RFC destination?

I have a report (on release 4.6c) which uses SAPFTPA for the FTP execution.

SAPFTPA executes the FTP on the application server.

You should test the FTP capapility with a simple FTP host using sample report RSFTP002.
