Problem with RFC SAPFTPA

Hi all,

I'm trying to use RFC SAPFTPA to transfer files between application server and another FTP server, but I'm not able to do this by RFC SAPFTPA.

When I test RFC SAPFTPA connection in program RSFTP002 I get the error "connect to rfc destination failed ", but with RFC SAPFTP  it works.

I read lots of posts here in scn, but none of them are helping me.

I thought it could be permissions here in the project client, to access FTP server, and they already manage to give those permissions, but still this is not working.

Could it be any BASIS problem? These RFC destinations weren't created when I came to this project, so I have created them with report RSFTP005. Am I missing something else?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sónia Gonçalves

Yes, ask basis as SAPFTP start from your gui session, so use you windows id and authorizations, when SAPFTPA start from application server. So also authorizations on the server OS level as well as on network may be required. You could also activat trace on the RFC destinations.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm now able to connect with RFC SAPFTPA.

The authorizations on the server OS level were wrong, but they already fixed it. Also on network, I had to create an exception on Windows firewall settings, to allow the communication with the ftp server.
