File upload to sftp server using apex

We have an SFTP server on Linux and we want to provide users with web-based interface (Oracle APEX has been chosen for that purpose) so they can upload their flat files to our sftp server via secure transmission. is it possible to implement on APEX? What might be possible solution? or any workarouds?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Kevin,
>
if I got it right, in such a case files have to be stored in database directory, as far as I know APEX only allows to store files in database tables. is there any way to put files to a directory without storing them in tables? For instance, I want files to be placed in some oracle directory when users choose files with FILE BROWSE item and then submit the page.
>
Yes APEX stores files to tables, but there is a way to store them to OS directory.
I don't know much about the plugin SaveToDisk:
http://apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/process-type-plugin/savetodisk_167.html
but i have tried a blog solution by Håvard Kristiansen and it works fine:
http://monkeyonoracle.blogspot.in/2009/10/storing-images-outside-oracle-xe-with.html
He has given this solution to store images outside Oracle XE i.e. to a server directory.
I had done this way:
1) User uploads a file through file browse.
2) The file is stored to APEX_APPLICATION_FILES or WWV_FLOW_FILES.
3) The file is written to the OS directory using the write_to_file procedure mentioned in the blog.
Hope it helps!

Kiran

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?

Mike

Problem Connecting to SFTP server using the SFTP Transport in OSB 11gr1

I could see the same error mentioned in a couple of posts; but couldn't find any resolution to it. Any Pointers on this would really help.
Settings Done:
I have configured a service key provider.
Placed the Known_hosts file at Domain_Home/config/osb/transports/sftp with all the necessary details.
Thanks,

Hi Manoj,
It may be an issue with Known_hosts file. Make sure that it is properly formed and it has no space/newline character at the starting of the file.

How do I copy a file to a remote server using runtime exec - plz Help!

Hi,
I am trying to copy a file to a remote server using a runtime exec command as follows:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("scp "+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_JAR)+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_JAR_NAME)+".jar "+" "+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_USERNAME)+"@"+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_URL)+":"+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_JAR));
Problem is this statement does not execute, as when I try it directly on command line, it requests for a password. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of that? I think I might have to configure my ssh_config file, but when I did some "Googling", I found the configuration settings of a ssh2_config file. I tried those (changing it to Host-based Authentication), but it didn't recognise them. Please help, this is so urgent!
Regards,
Simz

Don't use Runtime.exec (or ProcessBuilder) for this. Check out JSch at JCraft (or some other Java SSH API.

Upload a jar file in remote Weblogic server using wlst

Is there a way to upload a jar file to a specific location on remote weblogic server using wlst? This is my scenario - I need to upload aspectjweaver.jar to the remote server. This needs to be done before weblogic startup, as weaving takes place during startup . FTP is not an option because those ports are blocked

Hi,
You don't have such option through upload files as what FTP do but you can deploy the application through wlst.
eg:
deploy('Web14','C:/TEMP/Web14.war',targets='Cluster1',stageMode='stage',upload='true',remote='true')
Or you can use Deploy option to deploy app directly.
eg:
java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl http://localhost:7001
-username weblogic -password weblogic
-deploy ./myapp.ear -id myDeployment
This will upload file and place the file there from there you can manipulate the file.
Hope this will work for you.

Kal

Need Help to locate a file on a FTP server using MediaLocator class

Hi Friends,
This is Venkat. Iam currently working on a Multimedia J2EE web project. Iam working on a requirement to
show Thumbnail view for uploaded media. For this i have downloaded a standalone code from the following site.
http://www.exactfutures.com/index02.htm.
This code converts frames of a media files to jpg images which i can use them to show as Thumbnails.
The code takes file name which is present in project folder as parameter. But in my web project iam using a FTP server to store my media files.
The above code uses Java Media Framework along with another API Fobs4JMF. The media file name is passed to MediaLocator class constructor which is located in the project folder. Iam talking about a standalone application here.
But my project is a J2EE web application.
Now my problem is that, how can i refer a file which is located on a external FTP server and pass it to MediaLocator or some other class.
Say the ftp file URL is mms://wm.testuser.net/12365741/testvideo.wmv
Guys hope you are clear abt my problem. Please help me ASAP.
Below is the part of code
     * Constructor
     public vid2jpg(String path) {
          MediaLocator ml;
          String args = path;
          if ((ml = new MediaLocator(args)) == null) {
               System.out.println("Cannot build media locator from: " + args);
          if (!open(ml)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to open media source");
     * Given a MediaLocator, create a processor and start
     private boolean open(MediaLocator ml) {
          System.out.println("Create processor for: " + ml);
          try {
               p = Manager.createProcessor(ml);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed to create a processor from the given media source: " + e);
               return false;
          p.addControllerListener(this);
          // Put the Processor into configured state.
          p.configure();
          if (!waitForState(p.Configured)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to configure the processor.");
               return false;
          // Get the raw output from the Processor.
          p.setContentDescriptor(new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW));
Thanks in Advance for your time.

Hi Mani,
Below is code that ran successfully on a cRIO-9002. It looks much the same as yours, please double-check the formatting of your string controls. If things still do not work, let's look at the cRIO more closely.

LSMW file upload from presentation server

Hi,
We are using LSMW to create new Document info records and will need to upload/ attach multiple files to the DIR.
everything is working except in the IDOC processing stage, it errors out -
"Error while checking in and storing:
otlta134a\pcm\test1.txt"
Its is unable to upload file from network drive, it works successfully when the same file is uploaded from application server.
I have worked in other LSMW projects and have successfully loaded files from network drive.
Please let me know what configuration setup is required, is it the content server or the gateway server?
Thanks for all your help.

File upload on different server. URGENT need help.

hi,
I am using struts common file upload to upload file from client. My problem is my application is running on server A but i want to store uploaded stream on server B without storing it on server A(i,e. without using FTP or rsync from server A to server B). Please help how can i achieve this task.
Anuj

Write and run a standalone application on "Server A" to accept a socket connection from "Server B" then feed the inputStream that "Server B" uses to upload the file, to the socketOutputStream that it has opened with "Server A" and have Server A save that file.

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive.

I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Post a File to a web server using HTTP_POST

Hello,
I have to generate a program to post a file ".TXT" to a web server using a HTTP POST with multipart form and a couple of variables (user, password).
I was investigating and I found that I can do it using SAPHTTP but I dont know how to work with the FM HTTP_POST.
Does anyone have a sample code?
Thanks
Ariel

sample usage:
CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_POST'
    EXPORTING
      ABSOLUTE_URI                = IM_OFX_CONTROL_DATA-ADDRESS
      REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH = RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH
