FTP concept...??

hi all,
i want to read input files form machine one remote machine n want to copy them on some another remote machine using BPEL process. i may manipulate these files in BPEL process.
Remote < ==== Machine =====> Remote
Machine 1 (read) on which BPEL (write) Machine 2
Process is running
I have to use FTP adapter that i'm sure but i'm not getting the conpect of FTP.i mean to say i have to install FTP server on both machine.
ie. 1) Source machine(Remote machine 1) from where i'l read input files.
2) Destination machine(Remote machine 2) where i'l put my files again.
Or its something like you can install FTP server on single machine 'n from ther
you can access directories of both Remote machine 1 and 2.
Can anyone PLZ clear my this doubt...??
'n if some has worked on Apache FTP server then can you PLZ give me the User Guide of it.
Thanx a lot to u ppl,
-Mishit

you need to install ftp server on both boxes ..
box 1 - gets a "get" command, to retrieve the file and box 2's server will get a "put" from the process to store the file ..

FTP URL on OCS10g Content Services

I can't find a FTP URL on OCS10g Content Services.
How to connect FTP service of OCS 10g Content Services?

Finally, I can connect to workspaces successfully.
I was confused between Original FTP and OCS FTP.
OCS FTP concept is different from Original FTP one.
OCS FTP stores files to Database, not File system.
Step by step OCS FTP
STEP 1. Enabling FTP
====================
Oracle® Content Services
Administrators Guide
10g Release 1 (10.1.1)
B14493-01
Page. 4-3
You can enable FTP for Oracle Content Services so that users can upload and
download files using FTP. The FTP protocol is disabled by default after Oracle Content
Services is installed and configured.
To enable the Oracle Content Services FTP server:
1. Access the Oracle Collaboration Suite Control and navigate to the Content
Services Home page.
2. You may want to change the default port number for the FTP server. To do this:
a. In the Administration section, click Server Configurations.
b. Click FtpServerConfiguration.
c. Click IFS.SERVER.PROTOCOL.FTP.Port, in the Properties section.
d. Update the Value with the desired port number and click OK.
e. Click OK on the Edit Server Configuration page.
3. Return to the Content Services Home page and click Node Configurations, in the
Administration section.
4. Click the name of the node configuration that corresponds to the node where you
want to run the FTP server. You can only run the FTP server on regular nodes; you
cannot run FTP on HTTP nodes.
5. Scroll down to the Servers table and click FtpServer.
6. Select Active and Initially Started.
7. Click OK on the Edit Server page.
8. Click OK on the Edit Node Configuration page.
9. Return to the Content Services Home page and restart the node.
Repeat this procedure for any additional regular nodes on which you want to run FTP.
STEP 2. SET FTP password
========================
Oracle® Collaboration Suite
Security Guide
10g Release 1 (10.1.1)
B14489-01
Page. 2-27
Users can set their FTP password in the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service
Console, by setting the IFS password entry that appears in the Application Passwords
section of the Change Password page.
STEP 3. Connect FTP Site
========================
In the Windows command prompt
ftp <server name>
username and password is not OS account.
You must use OCS account to connect to workspaces.
You must reset password for FTP.
FTP password is different from Portal password.

Problem in XML to ITAB conversion - Application server files

Hi Friends
Earlier we used FTP concept, so I received XML file and length frpm FTP function modules, but now instead of FTP I am going to use the following function modules
SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING
SMUM_XML_PARSE
for that I need to pass the lenght of the file.But I dont know how to calculate the file length while receiving the files using Open Dateset concept.
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks

Applet dont show the Components

Hi,
Ive embedded applet in a jsp page. Initially appearance of applet is coming well. After some time during the process of applet , when the browser window is minimized and restored or if we are switching to any other window and coming back to the applet embedded jsp page, the things whatever displayed in applet are vanished because of which behavior of applet could not be recognized.
Ill explain the applet process flow briefly. My applet is for transferring files from local machine to server through FTP concept. To show the progress of file transfer Ive used progress bar with percentage displayed on it. As the files are transferred, progress bar status varies and also the percentage displayed.
Because of the above mentioned problem, the end user could not see the progress bar or anything else displayed in the applet. Problem is with applet behavior only.
Can any body suggest me how to rectify this problem?
Following is the fraction of applet code Ive used.
public class UploadFolderApplet extends javax.swing.JApplet {
     private javax.swing.JProgressBar jPB_Progress;
     private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel;
     private javax.swing.JLabel msglabel;

</body>
</html>can any one please give me the solution.

If you are on a Mac, this requires Java SE 6 to compile (64 bit). It's my current understanding that Safari (32 bit) won't display 64 bit applets.
I'm on a Mac, therefore it's pointless for me to try and assist you any more.

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 //////////////////////////////////////////
ftp.connect();
ftp.login();
String [] archivos = new String[100];
                                  File dir = new File("C:\\Files Uploading\\");
                                   archivos = dir.list();
                                   for (int s=0; s<archivos.length;s++)
     //Start Data Transfer Here
     new DataTransfer(archivos[s]).start();
                                   Thread.sleep(1000);
/////////////////////// thread class ////////////////////////////////
class DataTransfer extends Thread
      String FileName="";
      String LocalPath="",RemotePath="";
       public DataTransfer(String fname)
     FileName = fname;
     LocalPath = "C:\\Files Uploading\\" + FileName;
     RemotePath = FileName;
     System.out.println(LocalPath);
        public void run()
                    System.out.println("DataTransfer Started");
     /File Transfer Here
     try
           FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(LocalPath);
                           Ftp_Client.storeFile(RemotePath,input);
     System.out.println("Successfully sent : " + RemotePath);
     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?

404 error when publishing to FTP server.

I'm getting the 404 error when publishing my iWeb site to my FTP server. Please help.
It says I have a good connection and publishes but then I get the error when I "Click to go to the site." I've read where I have to upload the file to my server but with the file index_html. Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?

I'm getting the 404 error when publishing my iWeb site to my FTP server. Please help.
It says I have a good connection and publishes but then I get the error when I "Click to go to the site."
A 404 errors means the file is not on the server.
Checking the connection is just testing the FTP connection.
I've read where I have to upload the file to my server but with the file index_html. Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?
Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?
No, you don't. The domain file is where iWeb stores its assets. It stays on your computer. It has no meaning outside it. iWeb publishes the index.html file and all the other files.
Read this : The concept of iWeb Sites
So if your pages do not load, check for their presence on the server.

Receiver File Adapter - Dynamic FTP Server Address

Hi, I would like to pass the FTP Server address to the Receiver File Adapter as an parameter. Is this possible and if so what Name Space / Parametr Names add to the Product to define these values.
Thanks
Andre

Hi Andre,
If you have your server as a part of your payload, thendynamic file server generation concept can be done is as follows.
In your server name field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,

FTP DW5 suddenly is not uploading some images - or at least not showing them on site

Hello,
Dreamweaver is not uploading new & changed images.
BUT - images that were on webpages before this started happening today are intact, even after I upload the updated page.
What appears on the webpage in place of the image is a blank box with the small 'broken picture' icon, sometimes with the access text description. The images' file names appear in the source coding. Ex. http://www.wnytrauma.org/index20.html
I uploaded my Local Files to the Remote Server, but that didn't help
I don't know enough to figure out if this is a coding error or an FTP error.
Thank you for any help or advice.

There's a lesson to be learned in those statements.
Effective websites aren't about "look what I can do with javascript" or "check out our post modern quasi digi funkorama hoodlehoo design concept". In general, the most effective sites are developed to deliver the information that their viewers are looking for, to the viewers, in the fastest and most efficient way possible.
Sometimes simple is just plain better at that. Look at Google.com.

Picking files from FTP server with dynamic Filename.

Hello Experts,
I want to pick some files from a FTP server in a File to Idoc scenario. The files in the Ftp Server are created with the filenames as timestamp of the file when it was created. How do I pick up these files?
Thanks,
Merrilly

Hi,
The above masking concept (*.txt, . etc) will be applicable for the files with NFS only,
See the below link to apply it
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The below link will help you to build up the adapter module to read the dynamic file name

Use of function module 'FTP connect'

when we use the function module 'FTP connect', and 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'

Hi,
The Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD is used to download the data into presentation server and Dataset concepts to download the data into Application server. Sometimes we may require to download the data from other system (3rd Party System) to SAP and Vice Versa. In such scenarios, the concept of FTP commands comes into picture.
the various FTP commands are:
HTTP_SCRAMBLE, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_R3_TO_SERVER, FTP_DISCONNECT, RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE function modules.
FTP_CONNECT : This is used to connect to other system from SAP with the help of Userid & amp; scrambled password & Host string & destination (default 'SAPFTP').
FTP_R3_TO_SERVERThis is used to transfer the internal table data as a file to other system in the character mode.
for more details refer to link:
Transferring Data from SAP to Other Systems

Discrepancy between Pacman FTP and Arch website ? [solved]

Hi,
I just wanted to report out what I think is a discepancy between the pacman FTP base and the Archlinux website.
I installed kde yesterday pacman -S kde and replied yes to the question asking me if I wanted to install all kde group components.
I ended up with gwenview which belongs to the multimedia category on Archlinux website, while kiosktool and kshutdown, which are in the kde category on the website were not installed.
Unless I am confusing the group and category concepts, it appears to be a discrepancy. Wouldn't it be clearer if those concepts matched and bore the same name ?
Let me know. Thanks.

As you thought, you are confusing group and category. A group is a bunch of similar apps that can be installed at once.
For example, you can list all groups available by doing:
pacman -Sg
However, categories aren't the same. If you try pacman -S multimedia for example, it won't work.

BPEL Clustering with Tech Adapters (FTP/File/JMS/DB) - 10.1.2.0.2

When we cluster BPEL instances (10.1.2.0.2) without clustering the OracleAS instances, how does the tech adapter (especially the inbound scenarios) work?
Do we need to cluster the OracleAS instances, if we are using PartnerLink that is other than HTTP protocol within BPEL?
In other words, if we are using tech adapters (FTP/File/JMS/DB) within BPEL, is it mandatory to cluster the OracleAS instances (in order to cluster BPEL instances).
In the adapter concepts document, it says that we need to configure the 'clusterGroupId'.
Specifically, if we don't cluster the OracleAS and just clustering only BPEL (since it is stateless as it uses dehydration), then what is going to be the value of 'clusterGroupId'?
<activationAgents>
<activationAgent className="..." partnerLink="MyInboundAdapterPL">
<property name="clusterGroupId">myBpelCluster</property>
Thanks in advance!
Arun.

is it mandatory to cluster the OracleAS instancesno
clusterGroupIdclusterGroupId has nothing to do with iAS or BPEL clustering, it refers to adapter clustering. By creating a clusterGroupId you make the adapter a singleton, ie only one adapter with a certain clusterGroupId will be active, and if other adapters is started with the same clusterGroupId they will be passive and wait for the current active adapter to fail.
For FTP/File adapter you will need a shared directory amongst the server to hold adapter state (controlfiles). This is controlled by the dir
oracle.tip.adapter.file.controldirpath=c:\\dir

Can anyone explain me the concept of Process Integration(XI) in detail?

Hai all,
Can anyone explain me the concept of Process Integration(XI) in detail?
Regards,
Sanjeev.

Richa,
As already explained above by another user it means that every time SOA looks for files (in this case every 10 sec) SOA should pick all the files that are atleast 2 Minutes Old. (i.e., the "Current Date Time" - "File Creation Date" >= 2 Minutes).
It has nothing to do with the size of the file, as you mentioned in your example.
e.g. File A of 2 MB requires 1.5 mins to write itself on FTP server completely, it is getting picked up in 2 mins only.
File B of 8KB required miliseconds to write itself on FTP server completely, it is getting picked up in 10 seconds.... ISSSUE?
Here the time when File A and File B arrived in the location matters.
Say the same File A and File B are copied into location (say "D:/FilesToBeRead") at 10:20:30 AM, then the poller should pick up both these files at 10:22:30 AM as you had set your minimum file age property to 2mins.
Hope this helps
Thanks,
Deepak.
