File transfer: AFP vs FTP

Setup:
Cable modem to Linksys WRT54g broadcasting only in G only mode for PBG4.
AEBSn#1 in bridge mode via Ethernet from Linksys, N only mode, broadcasting wirelessly.
AEBSn#2 is wirelessly extending N-only from AEBSn#1, and is connected to a mini with external hard drive.
Using PBG4, if I mount a volume from the mini and transfer a file, transfer time is very slow: approx. 20 minutes for a 200MB file. If I FTP from PBG4 into the mini, transfer time is 2 minutes.
(I think the same happens if I use a Macbook Pro connected to the N-only network, but it's in for repairs right now, so I can't be sure.)
Any idea why the transfer times are so different b/w AFP and FTP and, more importantly, what I can do to remedy this? Thanks.

Same problem here. I have two AEBS Gigabit in bridge mode. Transfering a file via FTP or with Apple Remote Access (ARD) brings up to 3 MB/sec. Same file and same configuration connected via AFP only brings 60 kB/sec.
I hope somebody has an idea how to fix this.
Thanks in advance

File transfer from a FTP server to another External FTP server

Hi,
I have one FTP server , I need to transfer a file from this FTP server to aother external FTP server. Could any one please help me how to write a batch file on FTP server so that my file is transfered to another FTP server by executing the Batch file. I don't want to use SAP server for this.

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

File transfer from one system to another system

How can I use ODI to do file transfer from one system to another system ?
Do I need to create Models or I have to simply use Jython procedure/script to do the same ? Kindly help. I have done DB to DB using Knowledge Modules. But I am not able to understand this piece.
Kindly help.

If you are asking about file transfer use ODI FTP tool to do it. If you are asking about file transformation..
You can not do file transformation directly in ODI like we do in any other ETL tool like data stage or Ab Initio.. File transformation in ODI can be done using staging database in an interface(i.e ELT way).
Create source and target data stores for the file to be transformed. Create an interface using File to SQL LKM to load the file into staging database and then use SQL to File Integration knowledge module.
Thanks,

Steps for File Transfer through FTPS...!!!

Hi ,
Can anyone please tell the steps for file transfer with FTPS.
Does PI file adapter has bulilt in feauture to handle this? or
Do we need to deploy anything to handle this?
Do we need to install any certificates by requesting from partner or It will do the encryptions/authentications on its own?
Any additional Steps we need to mention in File receiver adapter while we send the file through FTPS?
File is going through port 1090(unsecure connection) but it is not going through port (990) which is a secure connection.
Please suggest me.
Thanks
Krupakar

Hi Shabarish,
We got the certificate from the partner and loaded into the trusted CA's. I tried running by giving
Connectivity Security as "FTPS for Control and Data Connection" and Command Order as "AUTH TLS,USER,PASS,PBSZ,PROT"
Ip: XXX.YY.YY.ZZZ
Port: 990
User and pwd.
and I am getting the same below error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
I tried by selecting different options like
1. Without selecting the X509 certificate for client authentication.
2. Keystore as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
3. Keystore as TRUSTED\view
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\entry-cert
4.Keystore as "view"
X509 certificate and private key as "entry-cert"
Please help me in this.

SAP PI ftp FIle transfer one to one with the same filename

Hello all,
maybe sombody ask the same in this forum, but couldn't find any topic regarding these.
Okay:
We have a scenario which have to pick up a txt file from a folder and to deliver to another folder
outside. The file transfer itselfs isn't a problem and works propertly, but we need the same file-
name for the outgoing file. Unfortunaltey we have huge different filenames..
So, my question would be, what for possiblities we have to sure, that if we can deliver the
file which the same filename as we have in the orginal (source) filefolder.
e.g. file named in source called TEST.123 in the destination should be also TEST.123.
The next file called TEST123.abc should be also in the destination TEST123.abc.
Thanks

Hi friends.
I don't know about if you need still any help. But i think it will be useful for another people who have encountered that problem and looking for the solution.
The solution is pretty simple for case if you are going to some file by scenario FTP - to - FTP without interface mapping. I was able to create simple example ant put it on my site to let you use the portable short instruction with screen shots and highlighted marks that help you understand it more clear. Indeed you don't need any udf if you wish to repeat that example in your real scenario. Link is HERE
Shortly you have to do the next:
1) for the sender adapter in tab "Advanced" switch on the check-box "Set Adapter Specific Attributes" and check that "File name" is switched on as well.
2) for the receiver adapter you have to repeat step 1 as well. Plus you have to change setting on the tab "Processing". On that tab you need to change "File Construction Mode" into "Create" and than you have to switch on the check box named as "Overwrite Existing File".
That's it.
Thank you, i hope that is help.
Sincerely, LukCAD.

Failing to connect through AFP and FTP from the Internet on Mac Pro?

Hi all,
I have tried to access my Mac Pro (located at home) from my work place without any success. I used to do this on a regular basis with my old G4, and never faced any problem.
All the boxes are ticked in the Sharing Prefs pane, I have keyed in the correct IP address to access my machine, and for some obscure reason it simply doesn't work...
I'm sure someone must have tried this, I'll be interested to know if I am missing something somewhere...
Looking forward for an answer here!!
Thanks,

Hi Ned,
You have hit the right spot! I couldn't remember having set up this NAT for my G4, that was too long ago, but I went back into the Belkin Router and readjusted the settings, and it's all fine now!!
For those interested, it took me a while to find out that with the Belkin 4-Ports Router, you can only direct the traffic for AFP or FTP to ONLY 1 IP Address... A bit short in my case, but I manage to find a workaround where I have assigned 1 IP address for the Mac Pro to do AFP (File Sharing) and 1 IP address on my old G4 to do FTP (File Transfer Protocol)...
And if anyone needs help to connect to their home machine while physically being in another place, I'll be happy to help...
And it's happening!
Thanks again Ned, well spotted!!!
Cheers,

How to send multiple files in parallel using ftp with single connection

Hi.
i have written code for file upload manager using ftp..
it perfectly working with sequence file uploading in single connection..
And i tried to upload multiple files with parallel processing in a single connection.... but it is not working properly.. i also used thread concept
but single file only transfered and connection refused...
my code here...
//////////////////// main class //////////////////////////////////////////

     catch (Exception exc)
          System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
          System.out.println("DataTransfer Ended");
     }otherwise tell me any other alternate way

And i tried to upload multiple files with
parallel processing in a single connection....
but it is not working properly.FTP isn't a multiplexing protocol. How could it work at all?

How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
Thank you!

On FileZila click on the User Accounts Icon. The dialog box will show you defined users. By default only anonymous is created.
So you need to create a local ftp username and passowrd. Then assign it a home directory under shared folders. This will be the dfault location a remote clietn will look for files and where you would find the ISE upgrade package, for example.
See following screenshot....

File Sender Adapter with FTP protocol

Hi,
I implementet a file sender adapter with FTP protocol. There is a problem: the sender processes the files even if they're in use by another application.
I.E. If another application put files (via ftp) in the sender work directory (that is on ftp), the sender processes those files before their transfer is completed.
I don't want that this sender in a communication channel in PI 7.1, imports files in the system when they aren't completed yet.
There are some ways to block sender before it processes incompleted files (in an ftp)?
Thanks
Matteo

Hi,
File sender adapter provides a check for NFS mode
+Check this
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.+
Other approach can be to apply OS level checks

Suraj

File Transfer Protocol

Hi,
For my project, am curretnly storing the files in local xi server directory. We need to ask the client for a FTP server information.
In order to achieve this, is it enough to ask just the file server name and port followed by user name and pwd.
As i have seen some parameters in file communication channel like connect mode and transfer mode, do i need to check these things also.
Just let me know the parameters i need to get it from the client to implement a file sender or receiver communical channel which is of FTP and not NFS.
Regards,
B.Anandh

Hi,
have u read the information provided in link.
●      Connect Mode make it permanent.
○       Permanent
An existing connection to the FTP server is used permanently.
The connection is reestablished automatically if it is lost on the server side.
○       Per File Transfer
A new connection to the FTP server is established for each file transfer.
●      Transfer Mode
Set the FTP connection transfer mode to Text or to Binary.
Thnx

[SOLVED]Simple file transfer between different os'es

Hi
I'm searching for some kind of simple file transfer between different computers/os (mainly arch and windows) on local net, without I have to set up any samba/ftp server etc. It would be perfect if i could select a file I want to transfer and then be able to receive it on a different computer.
So far I've tried giver but I most of the times they can't find each other.
Any know how I could archive something like the a bow?
Thanks

Try using simple file sharing through http server 'oneliner's.
- Note your host IP (which I refer to by "ip.of.your.server"),
- Go under your directory where you want to share files and fire a command line :
Using python : python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
And you can access your files on the network using http://ip.of.your.server:8000/
Using php : php -S localhost:8080 -t webrootpath/
Files under webrootpath/ will be accessible from http://ip.of.your.server:8888/
Using mongoose : mongoose -r . -p 8888
Files will be accessible from http://ip.of.your.server:8888/
You may restrict access, ie.: -l -0.0.0.0/0,+10.60.100.105
And have access/error logging (à la apache) too : -a access_log.txt -e error_log.txt
NB.: You may install python or php under windows but mongoose is the easiest thing when it comes to windows -> linux.

File Structure and DW FTP

Hello,
I find I like Dreamweaver's built in FTP client. So long as I FTP from the same local directory, the files transfer to the root at the server. However, when I FTP from another directory, DW will construct a tree on the remote server to mirror the source of that file on the local machine. It would suit me much better if DW simply transfered that / those files to whatever directory I have opened on the server. If that's possible, would you mind directing me towards that toggle or selector(s)? Thank you,
Peace,
Dave

I do not choose to organize the files on my machine in a way that suits the software I use. I have a directory for the files that are involved in my webwork. Sub-directories for text, image, and related files come next, and so forth. I don't want a single directory with a jumbled mass of files, related only by project name. Additionally, I frequently use the same files over and over, such as my logo, banner, and related objects. Finally, some files are served from my server, while others at servers of a more proprietary nature, like eBay, and Amazon, and those do require absolute links.
So, the question isn't about how I compensate for anything. Rather, it's to know why a free piece of software like FileZilla is able to accommodate my needs, while a well apointed package like Dreamweaver is not? A second question; why does it matter to you at all how I do things? You have sufficiently demonstrated your contempt in another thread. My question was answered in the second post of this one, and all this supplementary drivel this morning is mere passive aggression, and it is pointless.
Peace,
Dave

Which is better File transfer or EDI transfer

Hi All,
I have a scenario where the the vendor has tto send the post receivable data to our company. Now they say they can either provide us a file or EDI transfer. They have put the ball in our court to decide and tell them how they should be sending data to us.
Now we have to look into pros and cons of using file transfer or EDI.
COuld you please put some lght on which might be better and why?
XIer

Hey
do u guys already have the infrastructure to handle EDI? i mean have u installed SeeBurger or some other tool to handle EDI messages? if not then for EDI you need to have some kind of tool until and unless you guys have some ways to handle EDI.
File is kinda simple ,you can simply get XML file via HTTP or the outside party can FTP it to certain location and you can pick it up from there.
if u already have SeeBurger or any other way to handle EDI then you can go for EDI,but File will be a lot simpler in mapping as well as design and configurations and you wont need any extra set up it
thanx
