Secure FTP in PI

[Former Member]

Hello

we have scenario like: external system --> PI --> Abap backend. FTP is used to transfer files from external system to PI, however the requirement is to make the file transfer secure.

I know PI only support FTP over SSL/TLS, not SSH.

My questions:

1) Fort FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS), what the basis team needs to do to enable FTPS? (Like what should be deployed or what system configuration needs to be done? any step-by-step instruction?)

2) For SFTP, Michal Krawczyk mentioned in one post to write java proxy to implement SSH. I wonder what Java proxy does that mean? is that adapter module? Has someboday implemented this java proxy? I am very interested to know it, as Michal said it's only couple of days work. (BTW, I am java expert too).

Thank you very much

Jayson

Hi,

You can follow the link to create java proxies.

also search sdn for some pdfs for it.

For SFTP you can use libraries available on internet which are opensource.

One of them is Jsch.
