activate FTP service in SMICM?

[peter_wallner2]

Dear experts,

We would like to run an FTP(S) and SFTP service on our PI server.

Now the question came up how we will set that up:

- do we configure it on OS level

- can we configure it on SAP PI level using transaction SMICM? Or is there a java part that could manage that?

If I go to SMICM --> Goto --> Services I can see "HTTP", "P4", "IIOP", "TELNET", "SMTP".

If I go to Service --> Create I could create a service but I do not get FTP to choose.

Thank you for any ideas from your side.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

FTP server should be installed, configured and managed from operating system level since SAP Application Servers ABAP and Java do not provide FTP service, any FTP server is considered as an external 3rd party application. You can only expose following services via ICM:

• for Application Server ABAP: HTTP(S), SMTP;
• for Application Server Java: HTTP, HTTP(S), P4(SEC), IIOP(SEC), TELNET.

After external FTP server is installed, configured and running, PI can access it using built-in FTP client (that is a part of File adapter of PI).

Regards,

Vadim
