Hi,

FTPS != Secure FTP (990)

FTPS should have SSH Port 22.

Robin,

What are the settings that I need to do on XI end to communicate with FTP server using FTPS?

Also whats the port for SFTP?

Setting required is: Enable SSL.

XI file adapter does not support SFTP.

Hi,

connection security: FTPS(over SSL/TLS) for Control and Data Connection.

port should be: 22

SFTP is not supported as Prateek said already.

But for sftp you would use port 990.

Hey Robin,

I think there was a little confusion here.

FTPS (supported by XI) = FTP over SSL

it either uses port 21 (standard FTP port) for explicit FTPS or port 990 for implicit FTPS (old version of FTPS).

SFTP (not supported by XI) = SSH File Transfer Protocol (which is NOT FTP over SSH; it is a whole different protocol)

it uses port 22 (standard SSH port)

Henrique, What other settings do I need to do on XI end:

Like certificate and keys and all?

Also I am still confused about the port thing, should I go ahead and use 21 or 990 and it depends on what?

XIer,

the port you set in the adapter is the port that the FTPS server uses!

You have to check with the server guys which port they use.

21 is just the standard port, but it doesn't mean that they have used it by default.

Also, for the SSL, you may need or not a certificate. It depends on what kind of authentication the server has implemented. You also have to check that with the FTPS server guys.

Regards,

Henrique.

Henrique, the server guys have used certificates. So now what all do I need to do. Do I need their keys and stuff to be put on SAP server Key store?

and what is the command order fields which shows up in File adapter when we choose FTPS

Please advice..

There is already created SFTP adapter for XI (delivered from Seeburger).

Documentation how to configure this adapter and sample scenario is coming with the adapter CD. Connection port used from this adapter is 22.

As i said earlier

1. U can use same port i.e. 21 or 990 which was used in earlier versions

2. SFTP is not supported by XI.
