[Former Member]

Hi,

Would like to know if SAP Web Application Server comes with built-in FTP Server.

Thanks

Hi,

FTP Server is not built in WAS. Integrate third-party products, tools, and applications, SAP Web Application Server supports several open connectivity standards, including the J2EE Connector Architecture and Microsoft .NET connectivity.

A wide range of protocols and formats is supported for communication with SAP, non-SAP, and third-party components. SAP Web Application Server is open to the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Component Object Model+ (COM+), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and SMTP to connect to non-SAP systems.

IDoc and HTTP adapters sit on ABAP stack and the rest of the adapters(File, JDBC, SOAP etc) sit on JAVA stack.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an open protocol for exchanging files on a server.

Hi,

Alternatively you can work with the WebDAV features of WebAS.

Hello,

I am sorry to say, but there is no FTP Server in the standard. It only has HTTP / HTTPS / SMTP built-in.
