Doubts on FTP server?

Hi
What is the inbound FTP server and what is the outbound FTP server.? My scenario is like i want to place file in FTP server through XI and also i want to pick a file from FTP server from XI . For this do i need both Inbound and outbound FTP servers.
Regards
Sowmay

Hi Sowmya,
INBOUND
Use
You need to configure the inbound file adapter to send file contents to the Integration Engine.
To configure the adapter you must specify the following:
A directory and file name with a placeholder (*) to select the files
A processing rule for successfully sent data
Simple routines to convert a text file (with columns of fixed length or columns that are separated by particular characters, or both) to an XML document (these specifications are optional).
Sender and receiver data required by the Integration Engine for routing and mapping

OUTBOUND
Use
You need to configure the outbound file adapter to save XML messages from the Integration Engine in files.
To configure the adapter you must specify the following:
A directory and rule to determine the file names under which inbound messages are saved.
The address (HTTP port and URL) where the adapter can be contacted from the Integration Engine.
Rules to convert an XML text file that represents a simple table structure, to a text document with columns of fixed length or columns that are separated by particular characters, or both (these specifications are optional).

hi giri,
how can i pull a specific file from legacy system to FTP server.
use File adapter to pull the doc and in file adapter use FTP as you are using FTP but not NFS.
please check the follwoing blog for the scenario
For any File -> XI -> IDoc scenario ref:
/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping
Agency Numbers , you can use 'File name mask' feature .Check this link

Right way of accessing FTP server

I had an important doubt on what is the right way to access an FTP server, is it through the browser or through Windows explorer. I think, the right way is through Windows explorer.
I hope, my question is clear on what is the right way to access an FTP server.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

through Windows explorerWhy would you think that a Linux forum is an appropriate place to ask such a question?
What happens when you try? (You didn't bother to describe that.)
Your question shows that you seem to have the expectation that you can just dump a question out to some place on the Internet and everyone will teach you everything you ever want to know, as many of your forum questions have been.
Well, here's your answer:
Go use a FTP client program to get files from a FTP server.
If you insist on it being something graphical, go find such a program and install it.
However ...
The simplest method if you are hoping to pull something down to a computer running Linux would be for you learn to use the command line FTP protocol in a terminal window.

Urzent: Delete files in FTP server using FTP receiver adapter

Hi Experts,
We are doing 2 asyncronous scenarios. frst scenario should delete existing file and place the request file. Second scenario should pick(delete) response file and delete request file it placed also.
Scenario 1 : File(NFS) to FTP (Asynchronous)
Scenario 2: FTP to NFS (Asynchronous)
Scenario 1: (Receiver FTP Adapter )
step-1: PI has to delete all existing files in FTP server
step-2: PI has to place Request file in FTP
Scenario-2: ( Sender FTP Adapter)
step-1: PI has to Delete request file i FTP server
Step-2: PI has to pick and delete response file in FTP server
Doubts:
How can we do above steps in PI
Thanks,
Murali

Hi Krish - For scenario -1 You have to make use of the OS commands to delete the files on FTP server before placing the request file.
-> write some script which wil connect to the FTP server and delete the files.
-> call that script from the file adapter "using execute OS commands" option
For scenario -2 :
pick both the files(request and response) and set the processing mode to delete..
during the receiver determination, process only request files(based on filename/content)

FTP Server in SAP XI

Hi Friends,
1. i have a question in XI. i want intergrate Mainframe systems and Siebel system through XI by using File to File Scenario.
here XI will pick the file from Sender FTP server with File adapter, processing the file and send to Receiver FTP server with File adapter.
Here my doubt is, FTP servers are different systems or both are same? And these servers are not part of the XI server right?
here i am confusing so much, i am thinking both sender & receiver maintaining their own FTP servers.
2. what is soap end point.
3. how many elements are there in a sender data type for JDBC to File Scenario.
please respond regarding the above quickly.
i am very thankful to you all in advance.

Nagarjuna.

FTP protocol is generally used for communication with external servers, it is not part of XI, it is operating sytem level protocol. We need to active FTP server at operating system level
2. what is soap end point.
For SOAP interface we need to create web service, it is part of XI, through WSDL we can create web service
3. how many elements are there in a sender data type for JDBC to File Scenario.
If sender is JDBC we need to create SQL query in XML format, after that message type, interface type and Mesage Mapping & interface mapping need to configure. Meanwhile receiver structure*
please respond regarding the above quickly.
i am very thankful to you all in advance.

Win XP(sp2) and win 2003 server all have happened. Version of JDK is 6u2. I have doubted with version of JDK, and I changed to JDK 6u10 but problem is same.
By the way, FTP server in C++ work well on these problem machine.
I think the problem is related with configuration of machine(hardware or software), but I want to know where and why.
Thanks for any help.

FTP server in java doesn't work well at win os in some status.Why?

As we know,FTP server in java used to use "BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream())" to complete data transfer.
socket.getOutputStream() returns SocketOutputStream, and SocketOutputStream use native method:socketWrite0 to transfer data.
I writted a FTP server in java that runs at win XP or win 2003 server. FTP client download file through internet,and when file size is large(for example, 5M),the download is failure. But I changed FTP server in C++,the download is ok. These PCs have multi network card commonly.
In the first instance,I thinked my programm may be written wrong. But I have used CrossFTP and DanoFTP at sourceforge.net, they failed too.
I have compared the source code of these FTP server and they are same in data transfer.
There are another strange phenomenon.FTP server at some PC works well. For example,when I install FTP server at another PC.So I think that it is not link problem,and may be relate with PC's configuration?
Any help appreciate.

Apache Commons Net - Retrieve File - Extension, Compare , Move - FTP Server

Dear All,
I am using Apache Commons net FTP Library for FTP Operations. I had a few doubts
1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we retrieve files with specifying file extension?
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local files before downloading from the FTP Server?
3) I need to move files from the ftp server to local directory. Is there is anyway to move the files rather than first retrieve files from the FTP Server and then deleting the file in the FTP Server using FTP delete()
Thanks,
J.Kathiresan

1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some
extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we
retrieve files with specifying file extension?
List the files and then filter the list to those that you want to process.
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local
files before downloading from the FTP Server?Think about this one! To compare two files you nead to read both. If you do this on the client then you will have to copy the file from the server first!

OBPM4 file path to FTP server

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement.
For the payment in F110, the output file should be moved to the FTP server.
For that, i need to provide the FTP path to the OBPM4 tcode.
My doubt is if we try to connect to FTP server, we need to provide the login detail right. If that is the case, how can i procced with this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabu

Hi Santhosh,
Thanks for your reply. I know that we can provide the path in the place of file name. That is inside SAP. so, we can proceed with that.
For me, i need to move it to FTP server.
I know that once we move it to Application server, we can trigger one z program which will pick up the file from Applicaiton server and place it in FTP server.
But my question is, do we really required this z program to move the file?.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabu

How do you set up an FTP server using a NAS device?

I'm sure this question has been answered before. I run a small graphic design business from my home. Occassionly clients want to send me files and ask if I have an FTP site they can upload to. I recently purchased an NAS enclosure and added a 250 GB HD in it. It's hook up to a Linksys router. I can attach to it using the GO menu using "smb://STORAGE". It appears on the desktop. I have Comcast as my broadband service with a dynamic DNS. I have 2 folders on it, one password protected and the other a Public folder. I would like someone to be able to access the Public folder and upload and download files on it. Would someone be able to explain, in simple terms, how to set this up.

Well you actually need to have an ftp server running somewhere. I dont know (although i doubt it does) if your NAS has an embedded FTP or SFTP server. If it dosent youll actuall have to have people connect to one of your servers/workstations that has FTP enabled.
First youll need to log in to your router's admin panel and forward port 21 to the server/workstation that will function as the ftp server.
Then set up the mount for the NAS device at large or one of the specific folders on it with sharepoints or something on the mac that will act as the ftp server.
Set up a user as a FTP only user. Youll probably want to make this user only have FTP access (you can google or consult other threads in these forums for this procedure).
In this users home folder make symlinks to the shares with the command line:
cd pathto_ftpusers_homedir
ln -s /Volumes/NAS_Sharepoint NameOfFolderUserWillSee
Then create the file /etc/ftpchroot which will contain a list of users that will be limited to thier home directory when using ftp. i would use a command line text editor to do this (pico, vi, emacs... choose your poison).
the file should simply be a list of user shortnames, 1 per line.
Thats the basics of it. You can get more complicated and might indeed need to set up permissions and what not properly (youll probably want to use ACLS so you dont have to constantly change permissions or login as another user to access files that have been uploaded)but that should get you started i think.

How can i do scheduled automatic backups to an ftp server in ios xr?

Hello guys! As the title says im looking forward to automatically back up my running config on a cisco CRS-1 to an FTP server. I was only able to find this config example:
Configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://A.B.C.D/myconfig.txt
This allows me to save my config to an ftp server everytime i use commit on the device. Now i want to know if there's a way to automatically save my configs everyday at 00:00 and also include the date and time in the name of the file so i don't overwrite the existing files in the ftp server.
I dont want to use any tool i just wanna know if what im asking is possible via CLI commands. I would greatly appreciate your help with this subject.
Regards,
David

Not sure if this script will work on a CRS, but try this:
archive
log config
logging enable
hidekeys
path tftp:///$h-
write-memory
time-period 10080
Explaination:
There are two ways to save your config to your remote station:
1. When someone saves the config; and
2. At an alloted time period, expressed in 10080 (weekly for me).

Java ftp server which can use LDAP, how to integrate with WLS' implementation of LDAP?

Howdy.
I'm setting up a java ftp server
(http://www.mycgiserver.com/~ranab/ftp/index.html) which is capable of using
LDAP for it's user security. I would like to integrate this ftp server with
wls' implementation of LDAP so I only have to admin one user list.
Does wls put it's user list in the LDAP or in it's own proprietary setup? I
tried playing around with it, but the users don't seem to appear in the JNDI
tree. Is this where the LDAP stuff is located? I thought it was in there?
If it's in it's own setup, is there a way to propagate the users to LDAP?
If these look like newbie Q&A, I guess they kind of are, I'm new to LDAP.
Thanks for any input you might have.

Peter,
If you are talking about using the embedded LDAP server in WLS 7.0 for this purpose
I think you are going done the wrong path.
Look at the following URL on how to use an external LDAP server for your custom
application
