File Adapter (UNIX) to Windows Share

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am still quite confused how SAP can call this a File Adapter until it is not possible to use the most common transfer method: UNC Paths

When I start thinking about this I am getting sick, but ok.

So I want to send a file from anywere to a Windows Share, which in general should not be that difficult. Again, this is one of the most used scenarios and this is not supported by SAP because my XI is on Unix. The possible solutions I found are:

1) Samba

2) Mount

3) FTP Adapter

For me Mount is no possible because I do have a WAN in between and this connection would be too vulnerable, FTP not as well because there is no FTP Server where I want to go.

Does anyone of you use a script called from the file adapter which transfers the file via Samba? Any experience with that?

Hi,

bad, bad, there is no way to do so. You have to use Samba or NFS share.

You can as well use a J2SE adapter to perform the requirement using XI. I am not sure if you have tried that option.
