Difference between passive and active data connection mode for FTP

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does any body have the idea of passive and active data connection mode for the transport protocol FTP.

I have one server with FTP, I have to pick the data from this FTP to XI.

What is the difference between active and passive data connection? Does XI supports both the connections?

Thanks & Regards

Hi

According to SAP Note - 821267

Q: Does the File Adapter support active data connections when connecting to an FTP server?

A: Up to and including SP14, the File Adapter exclusively uses passive data connections. Starting with SP15, active connections will be available.

Difference between active and passive,

You can definitely refer to the site mentioned by Suraj
