Hey guys i m new to XI and to learn it a bit more i got a VPN connection for the XI server.

now if i do any scenarion,suppose File-To-File,can i store the file on my PC(client) and then move it to some other PC (client) or i need to store this file on the XI server(i guess they wont let me do that).

thanx

that means if i m transfering file from my PC to another PC,i will be using FTP instead of NFS? or can i use NFS ?

Hi ,

Are you refering the file used to transfer from source to target ?

1) If you want to transfer file data from source to target then you can use NFS mode.( If the target system ( PC ) is not XI server then you have to use FTP otherwise NFS .

Are you refering the integration scenario file ?

2) If you are refering the integration scenario you want to tranport then export it in .tpz format .

Hi ,

You can run a free FTP server on target PC which can act as FTP server .

So many free FTP servers you can install them on PC .

Hi ,

If your source system is external to SAP XI server . then you need to have FTP server on Source PC also.

Hi

I can advise to use free Filezilla FTP server and FTP client. I don't know a lot about FTP but it turned my PC into a working FTP server in 3minutes. Very straight forward configuration.

Worked perfectly well with FTP file channels ( as well sender as receiver )
