FTPS connection

[former_member444117]

Hi All,

I am setting up an FTPS connection in SAP PI 7.1 ( Idoc to File ) and necessary certificate are installed in NWA.

Is it possible to configure FTPS connectioin in receiver com channel without USER Name/ Password of third party FTP server..?

what is the signification of Anonymous login..? Does it mean without user name/pwd accessing the ftp server..?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Vinoth,

Anonymous logon to the FTP server means usage of a special user named anonymous (all letters in lower case) with no password when logging into the FTP server. This assumes the FTP server allows anonymous logons, so you shall first check this with the 3rd party running the FTP server. In secure environments hosting enterprise FTP servers, anonymous access is commonly disabled.

In configuration of the FTP receiver communication channel, when the option "Anonymous Logon" is enabled, this instructs the channel to use user anonymous with no password when authenticating at the remote FTP server.

Normally, anonymous logons do not provide extensive privileges and are only allowed to list / display certain specific directories, in many cases such user doesn't have permissions to create / change / delete / execute.

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for your reply

I am using Anonymous user in receiver channel and  i got below error.

Error : Adapter Framework caught exception: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: FTPEx: User cannot log in.

So now does it mean without USER Name/Password of Remote FTP server, FTPS connection cannot be established from PI

Vinoth, this error is a likely indicator of anonymous logon being not enabled on the FTP server. You shall ask the FTP service provider for valid credentials.
