Hi All,
I request your suggestion on my problem. I have a scenario idoc to file where I am connecting to my vendor server throught SFTP (Ftp over SSL). In this my vendor specifically told that to obtain secure FTP connectivity to their server they require a pre-approved Secure FTP client be used to access the service.
So as per this requirement first our XI server need to coneect to the pre-approved client and the connectivity will happen to the vender server. He list the pre-approved client as below
*Cleo Lexicom 2.1
*TrailBlazer ZMOD FTP Client V3R1 PTF Level PFT3100034
*QualEDI for Windows, 32-bit version
*Ascential DataStage TX, Release 7.5
*Future 3 - Advanced Communication Module Plus (ACM Plus)
*eBridge FTPS Communicator for GXS version 5.3
*Ipswitch Inc's WS_FTP Professional version 8.02.
·Robo-FTP version 3.2
Please let me know will this be possible from our file adapter. Currently as per this requirement we open up the port of XI server for SFTP connecvity but through this we can have host to host connection over SFTP and not sure whether we can connect to client software and from their to vendor sever.
Kindly needful your suggestion/solution on this.
Regards,
Dhill
SAP XI does not support SFTP only FTPS.
Any FTP Server that supports FTPS should be fine.
I have used Filezilla and Ipswitch WS_FTP for FTPS transfers.

Hi Dhil,
Search the options of your client's software to find where its public and private keys are stored, these are 2 files present on the FTP server, then put the Public key of the XI server on the Client FTP Server and likewise for the Public Key of the FTP Server on the XI Server.
This enables the SSL handshake, i.e. Exchange of certificates.
The rest of the config remains the same.

Hi Samson,
Thank you, can you please confirm the steps below
1.I need to install the client's software in XI box
2 I will take the public key of target server(vendor server) put into public key of client software.
3. I will take the public key of xi server and put into the private key of client software.
I am sorry i am confused if this above was wrong please give me more details.
Regards,
Dhill.
Hi Dhil,
You got most of the steps right, but you don't have to install client's software on XI let it be where it is.
All you need to do is tell your basis person to place the public key ( usually a file ) of Client software in the keys folder of XI and take XI's Public key certificate and place it in the client software's folder ( Check the options of the software ).

Samson Rodrigues.
