FTP details required

[santosh_k3]

Hi All,

My scenario is NFS->XI->FTP

XI server is running on UNIX,

I need to connect to Local FTP

I have to get the details of FTP

like Host name, Port, User Name , Pwd

Whether UNIX guy or Basis guy provide the details of Local FTP?

If i connect to the Local FTP , the target directory which we have declared in the FTP is it seen in the AL11(app server) of XI?

(or)

it connects to some drives like C:\foldername or D:\Foldername.

As NFS is used to pick the files from AL11

Whether local FTP is also used to pick or place the files from AL11?

Please someone clarify my doubts.

Thanks

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server.

FTP can be setup with different tools. So you will get the details from FTP guys.

In case of local ftp, You must have used some tools which is exposing certain Folder / directory on FTP. The details for FTP you can get using that tool only.

No, FTP is not used to pick or place the files from AL11 unless you exposes the same directories as of AL11 in ftp.

Hope it clears your doubt.

Hi All,

When i was trying to connect to the local FTP

Error is showing as :

Message processing failed: ConnectException: Connection refused

This error is regarding the access to directory

or

any other issues related to the authorizations of FTP.

Kindly let me know what i need to do further.

Thanks

Go through this weblog to check your FTP setting :

/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang

Try telnet or simply open IE and type FTP://<FTP Server>:<Port>/<Directory> and check whether you are able to open it.

following things you check with technical persons/basis :

1) Receiver server FTP port 21 is open.

2) FTP user id and password is correct.

3) The folder is having all access.

Since its a local FTP (PI and FTP are on same system) Firewall should not be an issue.

Additional Info:

To see the exception stack trace in the adapter log files present in the XI server, navigate to

/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/applications.[n].log

/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/applications\com.sap.xi\xi.log

HI SHA,

You need to ask your unix team to create user id and password creating your local FTP.

Host name will be the your Server host name(FQDN) also contact your basis guys would be able to help you regarding this.
