<b>requriment</b>(documents are stored in an sftp location, we cannot store them on the application servers for space constraints. Therefore please prepare the SAP sync program to read files from the sftp location.)

Hi,

in this case you need to connect to FTP server, and then Read the file using FTP commands.

how to read the file using ftp command

[Former Member]

Hi Sanju,

There is no difference between reading a file from application server or SFTP server. You can use the same OPEN DATASET, READ/TRANSFER DATASET and CLOSE DATASET concepts.

The reason why User asked you to load it onto SFTP location is may be he might SFTP that file to a different Location/Server.

SFTP is nothing but an FTP but a Secure FTP which is Built on SSL Protocol. If the user wants to SFTP it from the SFTP server then he will be using sftp command in the UNIX Shell Script.

Hope this will give you some information to start off or clarify a few of your doubts with the User.

Thanks & Regards,
