SAPFTPA from SAP Application Servers - Permission denied

[Former Member]

Hi

Problem with SAPFTPA from SAP aplicationserver. ( release 700 )

For testing I use ABAP RSFTP006 with user, passw, host, RFC Destination SAPFTPA, and FTP command LS.

Error-message "Internal error in SAPFTP" comes up.

RFC destination SAPFTPA is created automatically, and when activating RFC trace, I can read in log that FTP user is logged in at FTP server, but error "Permission denied" comes up.

• End log

Check with RSFTP005 RFC destination's is ok.

QUESTION: Where is tmpfile \2 located - is it environmentvariable ( C:\Documents and Settings\SAPServiceSID\Local Settings\Temp ) or SAP-directory DIR_TEMP.

Permissions for SAPServiceSID seems to be okay ( user can manually create files )

SAPFTPA works on developmentsystem ( same patch/kernel level ).

Firewall is checked. It is possible to run FTP client from SAP server.

Hi

SAP provide sample code to connect to FTP.

It provided in SAP function module, FTP_CONNECT (connect to FTP), FTP_COMMAND (send command by FTP), FTP_DISCONNECT (disconnect),FTP_R3_TO_SERVER (put file to FTP),FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 (get file from FTP).

Refer to the following link for more:

Please see if this is of some good to you.

Hi Chen

Thank you for your reply.

I know the sampleprograms, and RSFTP006 which is mentioned above is a sample program as well.

This issue is not a programming issue, but more a basis issue.

The serviceuser has changed domain on OS, and some permissions was missing on OS level.
