How to configure FTP/VAN Adapter for SFTP connection?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to the use of Seeburger's FTP/VAN adapter. I read SDN threads where the FTP/VAN adapter can be used for SFTP connections. Could anyone assist me in the steps to configure the communication channels for SFTP connections?

Scenarios:

1. R/3 -> XI -> File (SFTP server)

2. File (SFTP server) -> XI -> IDoc

There is no VAN connection involved. I am just trying to utilize the adapters my PI system currently have for my interface requirement.

Is the configuration as simple as configuring the communication channel or there are scripts involved? If there are scripting involved, is there a benefit to use scripting in the FTP/VAN adapter, rather than XI's own File adapter?

Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Raj,

I do have a 3rd party adapter, the Seeburger FTP/VAN adapter. Although the main usage for this adapter is to connect to VANs of different vendors, I've read that this adapter can be used for SFTP file transfer as well.

I am unable to find any useful threads with regards to how to implement the SFTP connection for file transfer using this adapter.

Please assist or guide me on the setup of this adapter to transfer files to/fro via SFTP. Thank you.
