receiver File adaptor through Proxy server

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to receiver FTP server, but the porblem is here some security reasons through our network we can't access the receiver FTP server. we have proxy server from there we are able to connect to receiver ftp server and i have tried with command promt i am able to connect. but i am not sure how i can configure that in PI.

what i am doing in command prompt is

1. connecting to our proxy server

2. i am provideing the username@FTP IP

3. password

this is connecting the same when i have tryied to configure in PI

FTP server name : our proxy server

user name : username@receiver FTP IP

password: password.

Then i tried to test this scenario in receiver file communication its is connecting to our proxy server only. but the same way cmd i am able to connect FTP server.

Please help me, thanks in advance

Thanks,

Hi,

As you are able to connect to FTP using command prompt, check if you can do it from command prompt of PI server if from PI server you are able to connect then you can configure NFS message protocol in file receiver channel and then first write the file on some folder of your application server and then what you can do is to use Run OS command after file processing feature provided by File adapter to execute a script file/shell file which will actually contain commands to connect to the FTP server and read the file from application server and place it on your FTP server and if required would delete the file from application after it is placed on FTP server.

You can refer to below link for knowing on how to use the feature of OS command in File adapter

Note: If your PI server is based on UNIX then you need to write shell file which would contain UNIX commands serially else if it is windows based server then you need to wirte batch file which would contain dos commands to be exectued to connect to FTP.

Hope this will be helpful

Hi,

Check the below SAP Note

Q 25...says that the proxy is not supported currently.
