Secure FTP

[Former Member]

Hello Guru's,

I have the following scenario:

• XI sends an XML file to a Linux server **

I need to put a file on a Linux server in a certain directory. The linux server uses SFTP and in XI I can only use FTPS. Is it possible to use FTPS to send a file to the Linux server? Is there any other way to do this?

Best regards,

Guido Koopmann

Hi,

refer

SFTP

SEEBURGER AG (www.seeburger.de) offers an SFTP/SCP adapter for SAP XI.

This adapter is fully integrated in the SAP XI adapter framework.

The SEEBURGER "VAN Access Adapter" for XI 3.0 which is mainy used for supporting various VAN access interfaces is also able to to scriptable secure FTP.

Not sure if this Service Marketplace URL works for you:

https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700009400062004E/index.htm#VAN

(look for netweaver in detail / process integration / exchnage infrastructure in detail / connectivity / xi 3.0 / seeburger /)

Other thirdparty adapters like ARIBA also supports SFTP with XI

Hi,

If I understand it correct, with the seaburger adapter I can FTP a file using the SFTP protocol?

Yes, you can use sFTP by using SEEBurger Adapter.

There is a workaround also of doing the same. Configure a J2se Adapter in your landscape where XI is running. Send your xml message using http adapter to this j2se engine.(No security is required as it is in the same landscape). In J2Se adapter engine you can set up sftp and can then send message received from XI to end system using sftp. This way data will be secured and can send to target system using sFTP

Reward points if suggestion is helpful.

thanks

Hey

As you might know by now that you can do SFTP via SeeBurger,i would just request you to confirm from seeburger before buying their adapters,there are different adapters from seeburger and not all of them are SFTP compatible.SFTP adapter from seeburger is sold separately,its not part of EDI_HighTech of EDI_Automotive.

Thanx

Hi,

Please find below the link for J2SE Adpater Engine setup.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e1532f46-0a01-0010-bc88-af327225...

It supports FileAdpater. Once the message reached J2SE Engine from XI, configure the Adapter to send message via sFTP channel either by installing sFTP client on that server and executing it from command prompt.

Hi,

Alternate Way: You can configure the File Adpater on J2SE Engine and create a Java Class which will take the message and send it through via sFTP protocol. This will be pretty much simple, tried and tested one.

The parameter where you can give your own Java class is

classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleXMB2FILE

For more configuration parameters of J2SE receiver File adpater refer to the link below

Hi,

Yes u can place the file in SFTP server. The file adapter should be configured for security settings also.

Check this...
