File from SAP R/3 to other Server

Question

Hi,
Can anyone here please let me know how to store a file on a server which is not SAP R/3 from SAP.
Can we use CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'.
Thanks

hi ,
yes you can use FTP_CONNECT.
try the below code.
FTP Using SAP Functions
Here is an example of how to FTP a file from the Application server to a remote server using standard SAP functions.
DATA: BEGIN OF MTAB_DATA OCCURS 0,LINE(132) TYPE C,END OF MTAB_DATA.
DATA: MC_PASSWORD(20) TYPE C,MI_KEY TYPE I VALUE 26101957,MI_PWD_LEN TYPE I,MI_HANDLE TYPE I.
START-OF-SELECTION.
MC_PASSWORD = 'password'.
DESCRIBE FIELD MC_PASSWORD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN.
*-- FTP_CONNECT requires an encrypted password to work
CALL 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'
     ID 'SOURCE' FIELD MC_PASSWORD ID 'KEY' FIELD MI_KEY
     ID 'SCR' FIELD 'X' ID 'DESTINATION' FIELD MC_PASSWORD
     ID 'DSTLEN' FIELD MI_PWD_LEN.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
     EXPORTING
       USER            = 'userid'
       PASSWORD        = MC_PASSWORD
       HOST            = 'servername'
       RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPFTP'
     IMPORTING
       HANDLE          = MI_HANDLE
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_CONNECTED   = 1
       OTHERS          = 2.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
     EXPORTING
       HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
       COMMAND = 'dir'
     TABLES
       DATA = MTAB_DATA
     EXCEPTIONS
       TCPIP_ERROR = 1
       COMMAND_ERROR = 2
       DATA_ERROR = 3
       OTHERS = 4.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  LOOP AT MTAB_DATA.
    WRITE: / MTAB_DATA.
  ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
do some error checking.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
     EXPORTING
       HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
     EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS = 1.
