PI 7.1 FTP(S) - adapter with implicit connection type?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have encountered some issues involving FTP connection with SSL/TLS because the standard FTP - adapter in SAP PI 7.1 doesn't support the connection type "implicit". Many of our customers use FTP servers with connection type implicit and are somewhat reluctant or unable to configure the server to accept explicit connection type.

Now, I wonder if there is any patch or update which makes the FTP adapter to communicate with connection type "implicit"?

Or if you have another workaround for us to utilize?

According to SAP note 1554886 - Implicit FTPS is not supported by the XI/PI FTP Adapter.

The only way is to develope some custom module or similar, or place the file in PI server and subsequently call an OS Command to perform the FTPS connection to send the file to the destination system.
