File Sender Adapter

Hi,

We are getting directory path not found error in the CC.

We double checked and found that there is an actual directory exists and the file is also present.

But for some reason, it is giving directory does not exist.

Hi Anand,

Try to give the Directory path with "/" instead of "\".

If yor are specifying the FTP server path, Please try to login to the server manually if you are able to login then XI should take the given path with authorization details.

If you are specifying a file location with in the XI server Directory then give the complete path as follows:

for ex: D:/XiApplications/inputfile.dat

Hope you solve your issue.

Regards

Praveen

Hi,

I tried all the above combination. It doesn;t work. I had manually went into the FTP via command prompt and checked the directory listing.

Now in the CC, it is giving empty message found ,, i tried giving the root folder also.

This was how my path was when i checked in FTP

ftp://Ser/XXX/Interfaces/XX/

Please note that Ser is the server name. Now how should i specify the path in XI.

Dear Anand,

If you are able to log in to FTP manually,I hope your file will be in ftp location some thing similar to this:

ftp://10.3.20.32/File/inputfile.dat

If it is like this then select the Select the following:

1. Transport Protocol as FTP.

2. Source Directoty as /File

3. FIle Name as inputfile.dat

Provide FTP connection parameters as follows>

1. server : 10.3.20.32

2. port : 21

uncheck the Anonymous Logon:

then provide the login details for the FTP server

Regards

Hi Praveen,

Did the same earlier also, no luck!

It says the FTP server has returned stating that the directory doesnt exist.

Hi,

This is the error message.

An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'XXXftp:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /DDD/SSSs/In: The system cannot find the path specified. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

The same is getting opened in Internet explorer and had put a file.

hi

check the following points

1)check the path specified in directory with right slash,select the processing option delete for testng purpose

2)If your XI server is running on windows 2003,check whether FTP folder configuration using microsoft IIS is done in your xi system.

finally check the path correctly

I did check at unix level and issued command PWD. That gave me the correct absolute path of the directory.

[Former Member]

Hi check the what slash your mention.

and check the directory properties..

[Former Member]

hi,

u have to give the Root directory path of XI (installed)for this

for Root directory check with u r Basis team...

else check like this *
hostname (server)\directoryname\filename*

and check for slash also...

Thanks,

Madhav
