FTP From SAP
Hi Mike,well I think I just have the complete solution for you as we just
recently did the very same setup for several remote system.
Basically I have an ABAP program which call function module Z_FTP,
which in fact uses the SAP function modules FTP_CONNECT and
FTP_COMMAND.
The program just passes the required parameter to the function module
then executes the data transmission. I even allow remote commands to
be used prior to the get or put command in order to set environment
variables if necessary. The function module provides a
detailed "session file" listing all FTP related messages received
from the target system, thus, you always know where something went
wrong if you have problems. The file can easily be used for trouble
shooting.
We use the function module not only for NT or Windows 2000 servers,
but other AS/400 and even UNIX systems as well. It works just fine
and is fast as well. The nice part is everything runs within SAP and
no external commands nor programs need to be defined nor executed.
If you want I can send you the function module source and the calling
program over.
