You need to use ftp function module.

FTP_CONNECT (to connect ), FTP_COMMAND(mput/mget commands) to tranfer file to NT server.

ftp_connect is used to connect the server.

ftp_command is used to execute the commands on ftp server.

mget , mput commands used to tranfer files.

Hello Arshad,

Another option u can explore is if u have Unix server on which u are running ur SAP then write a shell program which will monitor the SAP directory for the desired file and will move it as soon as it is created to the NT server.

Hi Abhijit,

Actually my main issue is that i have to transfer file from application server to netwrok server as i have already got a file in the application server.

I need to use ftp_R3_to_client. I am trying this out but i dont know what parameters to use for this and how will this work and do i need something to first connect to the network server

[Former Member]

If your application server is connected to SAP. Then use this program : RSFTP004 . This may be helpful for you.

[Former Member]

yeah my application server is connected to SAP but i have to do this inside another program .. i cannot use RSFTP004 directly....

i had a look at rsftp004 but i dont know which function modules to include in my prgram to transfer from application server to windows NT server

[Former Member]

You can use Submit RSFTP004 specifying any variant.

Thanks & Regards,
