Hi everyone,
I need to download the file from FTP Server to SAP Application Server. This works fine if we run the program in the foregound using the RFC Destination as SAPFTP. But I need to schedule this program in Backgound. I have searched SDN and I found the solution that says to use SAPFTPA that runs on the application server to schedule in the backgound.
But my BASIS team says this may create a security problem by opening the system to the internet.
My question is: Using SAPFTPA to download the file from FTP Server to SAP application server on the backgound needs that Application server to be open to Internet? Please let me know the security issues. I beleive SAP gives full length of Security but my Basis team does not agree.
Please let me know the solution to run the FTP commands in the backgound without any security issues.
Thanks,
Deepthi
