FTP file access Source Directory

[#1]

Hi,

Would you please tell me how I can give the right FTP file access Source Directory, when I use FTP to pick up a file in specific directory? My XI is installed in Unix.

for example, my user name is myang and is in /home/. FTP server is installed in /ftproot/. My file is in /usr/SAP/globlal/ and the file name is input.txt. I use FTP to pick up the file and send to somewhere. Then in "File Access Parameters" tab in FTP sender communication channel, what do I write in the "source Directory"? Thank you very much!

Source Directory: /usr/SAP/global/

File Name: input.txt

and in the FTP Connection Parameter specify the

Server, Port:21, uncheck the anonymous login and specify your username and password.

Hope this helps.

Tirumal,

Thank you for your reply! But It does not work. It says "ConnectException: Connection refused".

Can you check if its a problem with firewall.

See if Port 21 for FTP Connection is closed. May be that could be the problem.

Thanks,

Usually, unix servers only enable sFTP (which is accessed through port 22), not regular FTP.
