Can PI listen to message on FTP server?

Dear experts,
We have an external system that places messages on our FTP server. Now those messages need to be processed within 5-10 seconds. Defining a job in R3 that does that will not work because the time interval of a few seconds is too difficult to handle for a job.
Now my question: Can I have PI 7.1 check for messages on that FTP server? And, yes I know I could do it with an FTP receiver communication channel and R3 would be the receiving system.
But is there another possibility besides an FTP receiver?
Thank you for any ideas!
Best regards,
Peter

Peter,
But is there another possibility besides an FTP receiver?
Shouldn't this be an FTP sender channel? Since you mentioned this twice in your post, I am thinking it's not a typo error. Please correct me if I am wrong.
You can follow the suggestion given by Shabz in the above post.

Unity Express Backup: Can we use DNS name of FTP server instead of IP address?

Gentlemen!
In the Unity Express system, can we use DNS name of FTP server (Microsoft FTP Server) instead of IP address in the General configuartion for Backup Server?
e.g. FTP://FTP_Server_Name/Directory
Additionally we need to configure/add DNS server name in the Domain Name settings under system menu. Is there any additional configuration would require for setting up FTP server with DNS entry & above config?

Hi Sky_Voice,
This is a supported config
Backing Up and Restoring Data
Last Updated: May 12, 2010
Cisco Unity Express backup and restore functions use an FTP server to store and retrieve data. The backup function copies the files from the Cisco Unity Express application to the FTP server and the restore function copies the files from the FTP server to the Cisco Unity Express application. The FTP server can reside anywhere in the network if the backup and restore functions can access it with an IP address or hostname.
We recommend that backups be done regularly to preserve voice-mail messages and configuration data.
Backup and restore commands are available in configuration mode and in offline mode.
•In configuration mode, commands are available to set the following parameters:
–Number of backup files to keep (the oldest file is deleted).
–URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.
•In offline mode, perform the backup or restore procedure. Decide the following:
–Type of files to be backed up: all files (configuration and data), only configuration files, or only data files. Data files consist of voice-mail messages. Configuration files consist of all other system and application parameters.
–URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.

I'm confused how you think someone on Apple's discussion board can help you with what's clearly a Windows Server problem.
Surely this would be something better asked in a Microsoft support forum?

Can SOA Suite acts as a FTP server?

Hi,
From documents, I known SOA Suite has inbound FTP adapter. Does that mean I can use it as a FTP server?
Thanks,

From documents, I known SOA Suite has inbound FTP adapter. Does that mean I can use it as a FTP server?No. FTP Adatper is not a FTP server. Oracle FILE/FTP adapter enables SOA components to exchange (read and write) files on local file systems and remote file systems (through use of the file transfer protocol (FTP)). The file contents can be both XML and non-XML data formats.

Can someone help me ue my ftp server

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience using the built in ftp server. Heres what I would like to be able to accomplish and everytime I've tried in the past using it I fail. K, All I want woudl be to say, set up a file / folder that friends or say another person can download from my computer. Does this mean I have set up a new user account? Is the ftp server only usable for over local network, like in my house with other connected macs or windows. Can outside people access it or even myself from another computer. One more thing, I use DSL which has a firewall. I've open the ports for the main things I use. However how will this affect ftp server and how would this affect logging in. Hope to hear form someone.

In the sharing system preferences you can designate folders that can be accessed by FTP. When you're presented with a login/password request, entering your account password will give you access to all drives and folders to which you already have permission to access (basically, everything on your computer). If you do not provide a login name, the server will present only those folders that are accessible by "everyone" (you can set this in the permissions next to the shared folders you designate in the "Sharing" control panel).
The guest user is the user that's enabled when folks dont enter a password. This allows "everyone" to view folders you designate as "public" (by giving view access to "everyone" as I mentioned above). This user cannot log into the computer, but instead is reserved for network or remote access.
Anyone can connect to your computer with FTP (if they know the ip address) once it's enable, but only you will have access to everything on your computer. If someone enters an incorrect login name it will either refuse them or only give them "guest" access, which is restricted to the shared folders you designate as viewable by "everyone".
If you want guests such as your friends to be able to access files, just put the files in the guest-accessible folders such as the "Public" folder in your home directory. This folder by default is a guest-readable (only read...they cannot write to it) directory that's set up in the system preferences as such for FTP/AFP server access.

Can't login to solaris 8 ftp server

I can't login to my solaris 8 ftp server from another computer. When I type in the username (root) and my password (the password I use to login to my CDE), it tells me that the password is incorrect. I am a beginner at this, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

Hi,
If you must log into the ftp server as root for some reason you have to first edit the ftpusers file. This file lists all the users who can not use ftp. The file is found here /etc/ftpusers. If you remove the entry root from this file it will allow root to log into the ftp server.
Hope This Helps.

IPS 6.0 Supported FTP Server??

Hi,is it true that we can only use supported ftp servers that are documented in cisco for updating ips signatures or image?
###cisco ips 6.x document ####
The following FTP servers are supported for IPS software updates:
â¢ WU-FTPD 2.6.2 (Linux)
â¢ Solaris 2.8
â¢ Sambar 6.0 (Windows 2000)
â¢ Serv-U 5.0 (Windows 2000)
â¢ MS IIS 5.0 (Windows 2000)
can we use ordinary ftp servers other than ftp servers listed above?? thanks

When originally implemented the ftp auto update feature had several problems when using other ftp servers.
The implementation has changed over the past few years, and become more generalized.
So the listed FTP Servers are the ones "officially" tested and supported.
However, it should work with most other FTP servers as well.
I would recommend trying it with whatever FTP server you already have running. If it works then great; you are probably fine to keep using it.
If it doesn't work with your FTP server, then you can contact the TAC. If it turns out to be an incompatability between the sensor and your FTP server, then the issue would have to be entered as an enhancement request to get your FTP server supported rather than an actual bug.
We used to hear alot of incompatability problems with other FTP servers a few years ago.
But I haven't heard of any in the past 2 years.
If it is not working, then it is usually not a problem with the actual FTP server, but rather in how it was configured.
Here are a few examples of issues that are sometimes seen, and can be avoided with configuration of the FTP server.
Additional login messages can sometimes confuse the sensor (like warnings about who can access the box).
The FTP server has to be configured to use unix style directory listings instead of windows style.
Permissions on the files themselves can be a problem.
Renaming of the files after being pulled from cisco.com can cause problems, so keep the filenames exactly as seen on the cisco.com pages.
Keep directory names to letters and numbers to avoid parsing problems with the directory name.

Download file from ftp server

Can I download files from an ftp server by simply using the ip address or https:// url? I've only gotten this to work by using the "ftp//:" address in previous projects and I'm not getting this to work in many different attempts.
Here is one...
# FTP Config
$FTPHost =
"10.10.10.5"
$Username =
"admin"
$Password =
"12345678"
$FTPFile =
"test.log"
# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl =
"ftp://" +
$FTPHost +
"/" +
$FTPFile
# Create FTP Connection
$FTPRequest =
[System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create("$FTPFileUrl")
$FTPRequest.Credentials
= New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,
$Password)
$FTPRequest.Method =
[System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::DownloadFile
$FTPRequest.UsePassive
= $false
$FTPRequest.UseBinary
= $true
$FTPRequest.KeepAlive
= $false

Hi!
You don't need to specifically use an IP address. E.g can use
$FTPHost = "myrandomserver.mycompany.com"
$Username = "admin"
$Password = "12345678"
$FTPFile = "test.log"
# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl = "ftp://" + $FTPHost + "/" + $FTPFile

Transfer Excel file to external FTP server via PGP

Hi SDN!
I have build an scheduled report to generated an Excel-file from an internal table and saved it in the database. Now my task is to upload it to an external FTP Server of a partner company. The File contains sensible data and shall be encrypted via PGP.
How can i upload to an external FTP server and before that, encrypt the file with PGP? I appreciate any help and look forward to reward some great posts.
Thanks for your help!
Edited by: Steffen Wieprecht on Aug 7, 2008 1:00 PM

I found a solution myself, maybe someone is interrested:
I installed a WS FTP Professional on a Server.
Onto this server I wrote the files that have to be ftp-uploaded into one specific folder.
A Perl Script in the scheduled tasks of the machine checks if a new file is in the folder and starts the upload.
In WS FTP the site upload is defined with all PGP Keys so they are store secure.
This solution can be used by any programming language that is able to write files in the upload folder.

Steffen

Posting an Excel file to a FTP Server

Hi,
I have a requirement, where I have to convert the contents of an internal table to an excel file, along with header details and put that file to a FTP Server.
I am able to create an excel file in FTP server, using function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER and transfer contents of my internal table. But the contents of my internal table are getting copied to one column. How do I get the contents in different columns?
Also how do I get the header details?

Hi,
you can simply create a comma-separated text file on your SAP application server, line by line, each column separated by a semicolon (;). That file can later easily be opened with Excel. Afther the file has been created you can send it to the remote FTP server.
HTH!

How to create the anonymous user for FTP server in Linksys E3000?

I made a FTP server in my Linksys E3000 and everything work great. But when I send URL to my friends to download file, everyone must login
So, can I create Anonymous User (like FTP server in PC) to simplified everything ?
Thank you so much!

Thank Great_White!
But i mean not that. I can create user to access my FTP server but that users must have user name and password.
I want to create Anonymous User like FTP server in Computer (no user name and password). So when i send link to my friends, they can download without login user name and password
