SAP to another server using FTP

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to put a file from SAP to another server. Im trying with FTP I tried with the following FM's in sequence,

'HTTP_SCRAMBLE'

'FTP_CONNECT'

'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'

'FTP_DISCONNECT'

'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE'

Here the FM FTP_CONNECT is returning me the following error

User <xxxx> has no access authorization for <server I requested>, but I was able to connect to the same server using the same user id from Command prompt of my desktop. Kindly advise me on this...

Thank you,

Hello Sarath

You need to create a TCP/IP connection (type='T') to your FTP server and use this one.

Hi,

Does that help?

Hi Sarath Kumar.

I would like to suggest to you some references, it is quite similar to your issue,

[SDN - Reference for Transfering data from SAP to other systems using FTP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5564] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];

[SDN - Reference for Transfering file from one application server to another|;

Hope that's usefull.

Good Luck & Regards.
