Downloading text file to ftp location

Hi Everyone,
Could you please guide me for the following query:
I am trying to send the output of a sap program in a text file to ftp location. In that, while passing the following parameter the program is allowing me to download the file to ftp location:
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
       EXPORTING
         user            = userid
         password        = password
         host            = 'IPADDRESS'
         rfc_destination = 'SAPFTP'
       IMPORTING
         handle          = mi_handle
       EXCEPTIONS
         not_connected   = 1
         OTHERS          = 2.
Through this way i am able to download the file to ftp location(as per ipaddress).
But when trying to download the file in a folder on the same ftp location it is not doing that.
The parameters, which i am passing are described below:
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
       EXPORTING
         user            = userid
         password        = password
         host            = 'IPADDRESS/Folder_Name'
         rfc_destination = 'SAPFTP'
       IMPORTING
         handle          = mi_handle
       EXCEPTIONS
         not_connected   = 1
         OTHERS          = 2.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
While using CONNECT, we do not have to give the folder. It should only be the server / ip address.
While using FTP_COPY, we can give the folder name in parameter FILE_DESTINATION.

Download text file from application server to client server.

Hi all,
I am facing a format issue while downloading text file from application server to the client machine.
The issue is that, say I have 6 to 10 lines in my text file in application server. but when i store it on the hard drive,
it shoes all the data in a single line. Where as i need to download data in same format as in application server.
Awaiting for your responses.
Regards,
Jose

Hi,
If we want to upload file data from the application server to the internal table, there is no function module or class static method which we can use, we must wirte the code by ourselves.
1. For the file data which has no seperator between field columns.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET p_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
    READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_data.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    APPEND gds_data TO gdt_data.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.2. For the file data which has tab separator between field columns.
DATA: gds_field_split type gts_data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE gts_data.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET prf_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
    READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_field.
    SPLIT gds_field AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
         INTO TABLE gdt_field_split.
   LOOP AT gdt_field_split into gds_field_split.
       gdf_index = gdf_index + 1.
       ASSIGN COMPONENT gdf_index OF STRUCTURE
             gds_data to <fs_field>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
          <fs_field> = gds_field_split.
      ENDIF.
   ENDLOOP.
    APPEND gds_data TO gdt_data.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.
Thanks & regards,

so, pls. suggect me, How to add a SPACE as suffix to the last field in the downloaded text file?

FIELD2 TYPE XXX,
FIELD3 TYPE XXX,
SPACE(1) TYPE C,
That way you should end with...
26.000+SPACE

How to copy/send text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port

Hi Frdns,
I am working on one design, actually my requirement as follows
I am receiving financial information document from Banks, which is in the form of BIA2 message format, it looks like text file. This information needs to be sending to SAP ECC system.
I identified some approaches to full fill the requirement
1)Using Conversion agent/or third party tools to convert BIA2 message in to XML, then using PI I will pick up the XML message, convert it in to IDoc.
2)Without any conversion I will copy the same file (original BIA2 message) in to SAP ECC file port, in this case no conversion required, calling some program I will schedule it.
I am looking forward t implement the second approach because it saves lot of money to my client.
Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
What is the best approach to copy the BIA message text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port.??
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raja,
>>Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
Yes you can do this copy, the only restriction that can happen is the file size.. If you are sure that the fiel will be of few MB at the max then you can use the Configuration part alone and copy it to ECC folder. For doing this you need the following:
1. Sender agreement (mention the sender interface as anything XYZ)
2. Sender communication channel. Pick the file in binary mode
3. Receiver determination (keep both the sender and receiver service as same)
4. Interface Detemiantion (dont specify any mapping and keep the receiver interface name as XYZ)
5. Create receiver agreement (with same service and interface)
6. Use file adapter here

Retrieve text file from ftp server every 15 mins

Hi guys,
We are able to connect to an FTP server with 5 text files. Every 15 minutes, we need to retrieve each of the 5 files. Please assist me with the coding logic to retrieve the file into the SAP Directory. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try searching on SCN, there are plenty of materials you can find without even asking a question in the forum.
How to use SCN search
For example, if you search with keywords "FTP ABAP", immediately the first two Wiki entries would give you the details you are looking for.

Does your requirements allow that ?

How to download the files, that are located in server, from the client?

Hello folks,
My program is like that, the files are located in the server and stored in file system.
I can only know the server name and the directory listing, so that I can show the file names from that directory on the browser.
The user might downloads those files from the browser and he might deletes those files through the browser.
That user has valid right to do so and the files can be any type of extension.
So how can I write this kind of program? Currently the whole system is in struts, so how can I make compatible with struts technology?
Do u have any ideas?
Regards,
Phyo

Thank you, grigpm. But actually I want the user to select the file that he wants to download rather than setting it in the configuration file. If it is possible, let me see the sample code of FileManager servlet. I've tried with some ways but I can only download from the same server with the application server. I want to download from different server. I hope someone can help me with sample code....
Best regards,
Phyo

How to remove the last blank line in the downloaded text file?

Hi All,
I am downloading the one internal table content using the GUI_DOWNLOAD to a text file(.txt). The cursor is in last position of the text file where there is no content. For example consider the below is downloaded txt file:
This is test file.
Downloaded from the internal table
using GUI_DOWNLOAD
| <----
In above the internal table content first three lines..
Once I press page down in the text file, the cursor goes below the third line..(i.e., next to the last line)
How to avoid that ?
Thanks in Advance,

I solved this problem with BIN mode.
See this code example
DATA: FILESIZE TYPE I.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY'
IMPORTING
   OUTPUT_LENGTH         = filesize
TABLES
    TEXT_TAB              =   i_record
    BINARY_TAB            = i_Record
      filesize = filesize - 1. "TRUNCATED LAST LINE!!!
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      BIN_FILESIZE = filesize
      filename                = l_file
      filetype                = 'BIN'
     TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = 'X'
     TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS_EOL = 'X'
     WRITE_LF_AFTER_LAST_LINE = ' '
   TABLES
      data_tab                = i_record
Hope this can help you.
