Download a file from XI Server

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a scenario which puts the output file in XI folder (with NFS).

I need to download this file to a local folder. Can I do it with SXDA_TOOLS? I´ve tried with this transaction to send a local file to a XI folder but it says "Server wdviasvsap2_VPD_00 is not available".

If it´s not possible to do it with SXDA_TOOLS, is there any other transaction?

Regards,

Javier

Hi Javier Garcia,

In case if you have the authorization to login the application server and if it is maintained as Unix/Linux system, you can download the file using ftp and mget command.

ftp <Hostname>

then it will ask for User Id and Pwd.

then it will get logged-in.

Using 'cd' command, u can go the directory u want.

then by using 'mget/ get <filename> you can get the file.

Hello,

If you r able to see the file in application server(using transaction AL11), you can download that file using transaction CG3Z as Michal told by specifying the path.

If its in NFS(Windows file system), you can directly access that file using ip address of XI server(Take the help from basis to get the access)

Hi,

on latest version you can try TCODE cg3z

it allows to download file from server to local computer

Did u try AL11?

You can view the files in this transaction but I am afraid you cant download to your local PC using this tcode.

You will need a custom program to do that.
