Setting Target Application server

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a program which will take a file from PC. It will format the records of the file and write it to a Unix file. Now the requirement is I want this Unix file needs to be created always in specified Application server. What generally happens is, It will create the file in the Application server currently user has logged in. My requirement is irrespective of Current Application server that user has logged, I want file always be created in specified application server. Is there any function module to set the Target Application server from the program.

Please advise in this. Points will be awarded for the same

In the Above Program, Unix command DIR was uesd to see the file list, if you want to Create the file use CAT command istead of the DIR command

To FTP using ABAP, you can have a look at the standard program 'RSEPSFTP'.
