FTP Transferring

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I have a question about FTP data transfers. I'm using FTP_R3_TO_SERVER function to transfer data. But it sends the data in UTF-8 format. I'm wondering if it's possible to send the data in ANSI format.

Thanks in advance

Hello dear emrearman,

I had the same request and i used two Functions the first one connects you to the FTP server and the second will execute commands:

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'

EXPORTING

user = ftpuser

password = ftppwd

host = ftphost

rfc_destination = rfcdest

IMPORTING

handle = v_handle

EXCEPTIONS

not_connected = 1

OTHERS = 2.

this will position you in the your directory - source directory:

CONCATENATE 'cd yourUnixDirectory/' INTO v_command.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = v_handle

command = v_command

• compress = 'O'

• VERIFY =

• RFC_DESTINATION =

• IMPORTING

• FILESIZE =

• FILEDATE =

• FILETIME =

TABLES

data = t_out

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

this will position you in the destination directory :

CONCATENATE 'lcd' v_dir INTO v_command SEPARATED BY space.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = v_handle

command = v_command

• compress = 'O'

• VERIFY =

• RFC_DESTINATION =

• IMPORTING

• FILESIZE =

• FILEDATE =

• FILETIME =

TABLES

data = t_out

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

last call to transfert the file

CONCATENATE 'put' YourFile INTO v_command SEPARATED BY space.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING

handle = v_handle

command = v_command

• compress = 'O'

• VERIFY =

• RFC_DESTINATION =

• IMPORTING

• FILESIZE =

• FILEDATE =

• FILETIME =

TABLES

data = t_out

EXCEPTIONS

tcpip_error = 1

command_error = 2

data_error = 3

OTHERS = 4

I hope that it was helpful for you.
