Hi,

I suppose the data of your XML is not text but hexa.

Please refer program RSFTP007 ... Run it and check if the file is created if yes.. then there is a problem in the way you are passing the data.

Dear mohammed ,

like u said i have debugged RSFTP007 and found the it through a dump saying that "Exception condition "TCPIP_ERROR" raised."  due to in the  FM FTP_R3_TO_SERVER it raising the '-1' error.

Can u please tell me what might be the issue here?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

For using FTP in SAP you have to set up an RFC destination have you done that...

If not execute RSFTP005, to generate the destination.

Then Run it.
