Forward proxy to accesss FTP

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement in which we have to access a FTP (not in our landscape) to post files and we have to use forward proxy to send data to the FTP. Is their any provision of using forward proxy with file adaptor( If we use file adaptor to send files ) else is their any way to send data to external FTP using forward proxy?

We have been given FTP url and it is accessible through internet.

In SM59 there is a provision to give proxy details, can we use it in someway to meet my requirement?

Thanks & Regards,

Forward proxy cannot be configure in FTP adaptor.

Hi,

Forward proxy cannot be configure in FTP adaptor, Have checked with SAP also.

Other way around is to store file on some local server and then proxy server will pick this file using some script and will send it to required destination.

Thanks Michal,

Could you plz elaborate it... If I temporarily place this file somewhere, where/what command should i run.... example would be helpful.

Also can we use HTTP adaptor to send data to ftp url ?

Thanks and Regards,

use the fileadapter with transport protokoll FTP

set field Server: <proxy adress>

set field user: <username>@<target ftp server>

set field pw: <pw>

thats it.

Hi,

you don't use sm59 for ftp adapter

>>>else is their any way to send data to external FTP using forward proxy?

I don't think so it's possible in standard file adapter

what you can do is to put the file in folder and start an OS command which could move the file

using some command line ftp client which can use ftp proxies
