problem with rename command in ftp_command

[Former Member]

hi all ,

i am facing a problem in renaming a file by rename command...

this is how i am calling the fm ftp_command

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = g_handle

command = 'RENAME l_templine_file l_templine_file1'

TABLES

data = l_i_temp_line

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

here l_templine_file - dev00227.header.tmp

l_templine_file1 - dev00227.header.txt

the fm is failing that the error meassage is FTP subcommand error

can u suggest where i am going wrong in this...

hi,

May be the command you are passing is incorrect syntax..

Pass the values like this..

l_templine_file = 'c:\dev00227.header.tmp' " this should be with path'

l_templine_file1 = 'dev00227.header.txt'" this is just the name of file

If not worked..then Try writing in small letters//

write

command = 'rename l_templinefile l_templine1'.

rewards if useful

Hope this solves..

regards,

Hi,

CONCATENATE ' rename ' G_FILE_NAME G_FILE_NAME_NEW INTO

G_CMND SEPARATED BY SPACE.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

HANDLE = G_HANDLE

COMMAND = G_CMND

TABLES

DATA = MTAB_DATA

EXCEPTIONS

COMMAND_ERROR = 1

TCPIP_ERROR = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

P_ERROR = C_X.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

Give the complete path for file names in G_FILE_NAME and G_FILE_NAME_NEW

hope this will resolve your problem.

hi ramesh,

can u tell me is it a good method to run cd command before rename command..(in cd i will give the directory where my file is stored ) and then in the rename command i can give just the old and new file names(withot path name)...

Hi,

Better to use 'cd' and 'lcd' commands to set remote folder path and local folder path so that you can give directly(only) file name instead of giving complete path for file name
