FTP_COMMAND for get command for multiple files ending in timeout

911 Views

Hi All,

We are facing an issue while transferring files from FTP To SAP Application server.While executing "get" command on a FTP server from SAP Application server for copying 20 files. "get" command copies upto 5-7 files(varies each time), post which we are getting a time out error "Accept on data channel failed : NIETIMEOUT timeout 720000 ms". We went through KBA 2417825 on SAP Support's suggestion, and it says that this issue is related to Network or FTP Server settings. We checked with our network team and FTP admin, they checked all the settings and as per them settings are fine and firewall settings are also okay and are not blocking this. Strangely when we restarted FTP server and tried this transfer, it worked fine and all 20 files were copied, but again after sometime when we tried the transfer, the same timeout error occurred. This behavior is consistent i.e. whenever we restart FTP Server the transfer occurs fine for the first time.i also tried to directly read the files from FTP Server using "FTP_SERVER_TO_R3" but the same issue occured after 5-6 files were read. Our SAP Server is on Suse-linux and FTP server is on Windows. Kindly reply if anyone has come across this issue, will be really helpful.

Thanks.
