FTP adapter without change directory - is it possible?

81 Views

Guys,

I have an FTP adapter question. We are trying to both

send and receive a file using FTP. To do this we use

the server, user ID, password (etc) and the directory

name. The directory is mandatory.

After connecting to the ftp server, XI always seems to

issuing a "cd <directory>" command, however this fails

because this target company doesn't want to give

anybody the option to do a "cd" command on their FTP

server, therefore the whole file transmission fails.

Is there any way for XI not to use a "cd"?

We could just place the file on our server and run a

Unix scripts to FTP it over, but it would be such a

backward solution.

Any ideas?

It would be a disappointment if SAP didn't think of

this.

Your help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot,

Viktor
