NW 7.40 - FTP_CONNECT not working anylonger

[Private_Member_19084]

Hi experts,

we did an upgrade to EHP 7 and so to 7.40 NW.

Now the FTP_CONNECTION function module is not anylonger working.

I get the error 04 202, that the use is not accepted.

Does anybody know what it is about?
Is there another configuration required for 7.40, maybe in SM59?

Kind regards

So I got the problem.
In the past we used table entry server = "<proxy name> <port>" and port = 0.

Now with EHP-Upgrade the coding changed to split the server into server-name and using the port out of the port field - so more a correction.

I have to update the table SAPFTP_SERVERS, but how can I maintain it?
In se16(n) it is not maintainable (also while client is changeable and SE03 is changeable).

I found a note which says to change the table in se11 to customizable, but this note is not valid for 740.

Any ideas? Do I have to do that change or is there another possibility to update that table now?

I see, in se11 it is already C and changeable.

Do it from the database side if you can't do it from SAP.

There is good thread if you are not able to edit using SE16 by /&SAP_EDIT option.. check that to..

It's FTP_CONNECT.
I get exception 1 and sy-message 04 / 202.

Hi Christian,

Do you have any RFC mapped to this FM ?

Can you see any tab which asks for any RFC ?

In general,

For FTP this means - Command not implemented, superfluous at this site.

For HTTP - The status code 202 indicates that server has received and understood the request and that it has been accepted for processing, although it may not be processed immediately

And yes - FTP_CONNECT is there in NW 7.4.

Do a test run and provide correct values and share the results.

Hello Christian,

Please check tables entries.

Table: SAPFTP_SERVERS

FTP SERVER NAME:  *

FTP SERVER PORT: 21

Please check the following link

[Private_Member_19084]

Already maintained that.

Hello Divyanshu,

did check them, however not helpful at the end.

The RFC SAPFTPA is maintained and works in SM59 (also SAPFTP).

Kind regards

Now as per the code.

202 here mean - User XVY has no access authorization for computer ABC

So, I would say goto table SAPFTP_SERVERS and update the files for server name and port.

Make sure the user has the required authorization for FTP.

Check the updated value in SE16 and issue $SYNC.

Also - have you applied the security notes to your system post upgrade.

For eg, 1830024 - Update #1 to Security Note 1605054
