FTP required ?

Hi All,
Our SysAdmin team is looking to stop FTP services at OS level on a database server. They apporached us before stopping the service with a question like does oracle require FTP service. Stopping of FTP service at OS level will cause any issues in oracle ?
We are using Oracel 11gR2 on AIX 6.1.
According to my knowledge, oracle will user SSH only in RAC environment. Oracel does not require FTP services.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Kods

Oracle does not require FTP services.

Receiver FTP adapter

Hi
I have a idoc to ftp requirement. How do i ensure couple of things,
1) If the ftp server is down the payload is resent.
2) The delivery is guaranteed.

Sameer

Hi Sameer,
//1) If the ftp server is down the payload is resent.//
For this you can use BPM and in BPM use Send Step with Acknoledgement with option.
For more info go thru following link.

FTP Init Problem

I need some help streaming in data from a ftp connection. My problem is the ftp requires a username and password to login and the only method to set this is "set()" which requires a URLStreamHandler and it has me all confused. I can't seem to create the proper objects to control this. Can anyone tell me what I need in order to send username/password information to the server? Thanks so much!
try {
          URL ftpCC = new URL("ftp","myftp.com",21,"//mnt//mydata.txt");
          URLStreamHandler ftpSH = createURLStreamHandler("ftp");
          ftpCC.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(ftpSH);
          try {
          URLConnection ftpconn = ftpCC.openConnection();
          InputStream inData = ftpconn.getInputStream();
          String controlData = "";
            while (inData.read() != -1){
              controlData += inData.read();
            System.out.println("FTP Data: " + controlData);
          catch (IOException e){
            System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!");
            e.printStackTrace();
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
          System.out.println("Uh oh, got an MalformedURLException error!");
          e.printStackTrace();
        }

It doesn't like the ftp://user:pass@host format. I get the UnknownHost Exception. How do I pass in username and password? All I can find related to sending in username and password is this set method... Can anyone tell me the simplest solution to just connect to this ftp with a username and password.
protected void set(String protocol,
String host,
int port,
String authority,
String userInfo,
String path,
String query,
String ref)
try {
          URL ftpCC = new URL("ftp","ftp://user:[email protected]",21,"//mnt//myfile.txt");
          try {
          URLConnection ftpconn = ftpCC.openConnection();
          InputStream inData = ftpconn.getInputStream();
          String controlData = "";
            while (inData.read() != -1){
              controlData += inData.read();
            System.out.println("FTP Data: " + controlData);
          catch (IOException e){
            System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!");
            e.printStackTrace();
        catch (MalformedURLException e) {
          System.out.println("Uh oh, got an MalformedURLException error!");
          e.printStackTrace();
        }

FTP issues...i'm going crazy!!!!

Ok, so i i'm new to servers and i have osx snow server. I setup 2 sites (using ports 2424 & 2425).
i now want to setup an FTP. right now, i'm using ftp://96.23.40.187/. i basically left everything as is (root folder), and activated the ftp service. i created a new user (in usergroup) and gave him read & write access.
when i activate the anonymous login, the user (and the admin) has access to the ftp, but nowhere does it ask to login, although i assigned a username & password in the workgroup manager. if i disable the anonymous login, it says access denied, without asking for user & pass.
am i missing something??

I'm not sure if this is authentication or a firewall issue quite yet, and ftp is very vulnerable to problems with the firewalls.
As for troubleshooting this, have a look at the ftp server log file, and see what you find there. See if you see the connection, and connection details.
How familiar are you with IP networking and how ftp works at the protocol level?
ftp is rather weird here, and troubleshooting ftp usually involves knowing both how ftp establishes its connections, and how it authenticates access requests. For instance, using ftp requires opening up what is known as the ephemeral port range at all intervening firewalls (whichever way you have to open up the intervening firewalls depends on whether you're using active or passive ftp), and that it transmits your credentials in cleartext?
Put another way, ftp (which is older than IP networking itself, BTW) is largely incompatible with modern networks and modern network security. You may not be able to open up the intervening firewalls, too. If the ephemeral port path between the client and the server is blocked (the direction of the connection varies by active or passive transfer), ftp will start to work, and to fail.
When transferring files over the open Internet, it is usually easier to try sftp first here, and get that going. Easier. More secure, too.
There are good (free, GUI) sftp clients for Microsoft Windows. Among these is the FileZilla package.
Please post the ftp server configuration you're using here; what sharing you've enabled and what share points you are using, and whether read or read-write is enabled. This in Server Admin for the target Snow Leopard server box, in the ftp server settings.
Various browsers disallow specification of ftp credentials (username and password) in the address bar. Firefox still allows that AFAIK, but Microsoft IE won't. (Anonymous ftp is permissible here.) Safari (on Mac OS X) wants you to use Finder for ftp, or command-level ftp.
Try sftp. It's usually easier to deal with.

Configuration FTP Solaris 9

Hi!
I'm executing an ftp from a ZOS system to a Solaris 9. The file transfer is correct, but the files arrive with rw-r--r-- permissions. I need those files to have rw-rw-r-- permissions for a former processing.
I'm using TCP Wrappers, in the inetd.conf file I use the following commands:
# FTPD - FTP server daemon
#ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -a
Where can I change the configuration to make the files arrive directly with the right permissions i need?
Thanks,
Ricardo

This is kind of a wild idea. If your recieving from a ZOS... do you mean an IBM mainframe running MVS. IBM --- FTP requires overriding parameter statements in the JCL... One which you may consider looking into is the SYSFTPD which is required for all ZOS and advanced System 390 computers. In this proc is two pages of file format configuration changes. Setting the file structure and permissions on the recieving or sending side.
In short; look at both sides of the fence.

FTP sync problems with Dreamweaver MX on Prostores website

I ftp/sync, design and maintain my website Carnelian.com with Dreamweaver MX. My website is hosted by Prostore.com (an Ebay company). They have just recently migrated to new servers and are now requiring FTPES security which apparently is not supported via Dreamw
eaver Mx (which uses SFTP). Because of this I can no longer FTP or syncronize my website, upload files, images etc. Is there some
work around so that I can meet their secure ftp requirements and still use Dreamweaver to ftp/sync my website? I can get a third party FTPES client and upload my site changes, images etc but then my website will no longer be syncronized in Dreamweaver MX which would be a great inconvenience and problem for me.
Is there a solution to this problem?
================================================================================
Here is info on the Prostores migration from their support pages and support personel:
2009-07-26 01:10:46 - ProStores Customer Support
ProStores has decided to abandon FTP as an access method to the platform in order to remain compliant with certification authorities
like PA-DSS and PCI. Dreamweaver does not support FTP TLS/ES or FTPS. Based on the research performed, it appears that Adobe is not
working on providing this functionality anytime soon. The following options are taken from ProStores Knowledge Base:
There are many FTP programs available. There are evaluation, free, shareware and paid versions of different FTP programs. ProStores
only supports FTP programs that support FTPS with SSL/TLS encryption. Below is a list of widely used secure FTP programs (in no spec
ific order) that are compatible with ProStores FTP services.
· FileZilla (free)
· FireFTP (Firefox add-on) (free)
· WISE-FTP 6 ($)
· CuteFTP ($)
· And many others
If you upload images using the FTP process, there are new security settings and requirements. FTP protocol changed to FTPS (FTP over
SSL), also known as FTP/ES (Enhanced Security). Access to the new FTP/ES server will be through the URL myftp.prostores.com.
Update your FTP settings as noted below. In some cases, you may need to use a different FTP client to support the additional securit
y settings required on the new platform.
hostname = myftp.prostores.com
Server type = FTPES or FTPS
port = 21
Logon type = normal (not anonymous)
username / password = primary ProStores login credentials
Connection type = FTPS
SSL Settings = Use SSL-encrypted connection with Auth TLS (or TLS 1)
FTP client requirements = must support SSL-encrypted/TLS connection (Auth TLS or TLS 1)
Several free and paid FTP clients that support SSL encrypted connections include:
FileZilla (free)
FireFTP (Firefox add-on) (free)
WISE-FTP 6 ($)
CuteFTP ($)
And many others"
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Browser: Firefox

I'm going to give Adobe and Google the benefit of the doubt on this one, and assume it is eBay being ridiculous. My anecdotal experience with Adobe and Google is that they do pay attention to technology trends and usually incorporate industry standard technology into their software. If it were just Dreamweaver that didn't support SSL/TTS I might have a different attitude, however blogger.com doesn't support publishing via SSL/TTS either, so I think the error if there is one, is on the Prostores side of things, and I'm guessing it would have made sense for them to support SFTP.
At the same time I assume the Adobe eco-system is more likely to render a solution here than the Prostores eco-system. Is there some sort of plugin/additional piece of software that lets Dreamweaver masquerade a SSL/TTS connection?

Time Machine works across network?

My work is considering making the jump to Leopard Server. I'm mostly interested in this page: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/filesharing.html
Is it true that Time Machine on Leopard Server will automatically backup all my connected users hard drives? With that in place, there's no need for each workstation to run Time Machine locally with a locally connected Time Machine HDD?
Or does Time Machine on Leopard Server work like normal Time Machine and only backups what on my server's local drives to another server drive?

While the server can be set to be the destination for client's needs for a Time Machine destination, so can any other Leopard client computer.
I would need to mention though that I've just opened Leopard Server and am immediately disappointed that Time Machine will not work in Advanced Configuration.
FTP requires Advanced Configuration and so I am stuck without one or the other.

Sap query output to save on application server

Hi All,
I have one requirement, want to save the output of sap query on application server as a text file?
Is there any work around?
Regards
Vasumathi
Edited by: komma vasumathi on Nov 5, 2009 10:32 AM

Hi Vasumathi,
Application server path cannot be accessed unless otherwise using OPEN DATASET. More over, Infoset cannot be executed directly. It can be accessed through SAP Query only.
Writing Logic for 2 or 3 tables with Inner Join will not be a big deal. Writing Abap program will be optimum for you FTP requirement.
1. create a folder in AL11 as \sap\common\
2. create z program and Declare sel-screen parameters : selopt1, selopt2
3. Query : Select Afield1 Afield2 Bfield1 Bfield2 from table1 as A inner join table2 as B on Afield1 eq Bfield1 where Afield1 in selopt1 and Afield2 in selopt2 into corresponding fields of table itab.
4. creating file at application sever
      w_fileloc = '\sap\common\file.txt'
     OPEN DATASET w_fileloc FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    . Loop itab into wa_itab.
      Transfer wa_itab to w_fileloc.
     clear w_fileloc.
    endloop.
5. goto AL11 and check the file file.txt in folder \sap\common
Please let me know if you need more information or close this thread by offiering the points( If you are satisfied).

What software do I need to run all my website work on my new Apple Macbook

I run my Naval-History.Net site on my new Apple Mac running Windows software with Parallels. The software I use is WORD, EXCEL, PAINT, FRONTPAGE, and COFFEECUP FTP
I have just ordered iWorks which I believe allows me to work on my WORD and EXCEL files. Please recommend low-cost software that can substitute for PAINT, FRONTPAGE and an FTP.
I can't wait to get everything on to my Apple.
Many thanks

You will find iWork a brilliant package for websites.
Learn about Keynote, in particular the graphic capabilities. Take particular note of the ability to build a layered graphic and then export it to tiff, gif, png. But also the ease with which you can add shadows, reflections, do masks, remove backgrounds (alpha), layer text/graphics ... etc.
Export from Keynote as TIFF, then use ImageWell (free image app) to crop and easily get them to a sensible file size.
If you particularly want to edit HTML pages, there are free HTML editors - see VersionTracker.com.
There is always iWeb for web pages. However, given the amount of content you have on your site, do yourself a big favour and try one of the free blogs at wordpress.com. You can create not just a blog (think regular updates as you find new naval history information), but you can also create as many web pages as you want. And no ftp required. You can pay $10 to upgrade to use your own domain. You won't look back.
If you do stay with html/ftp, you can use scp (secure copy) from the Terminal in Leopard to upload. Its a command line tool, but more secure than ftp (basic ftp sends your username/password in the clear text, creating the potential to be hacked).
$ scp file.jpg [email protected]:/yourhtmldirectory
That said, CyberDuck is a good free ftp program for Mac.

Message Services

scenario
SAP -> PI -> MII -> Legacy system folder
PI to MII using webservice
MII to Legacy system folder using FTP
Requirement: Send messages to legacy system from MII in order MII have received from PI system. And Need Message Monitoring which comes with Message services.
Questions:
Which is the better approach using Rule based Message Listener or Category based Message Listener.
Can we use the Message service Actions for Rule based Message Listener and how does it work.
How can we make sure that MII processes the messages in order it has received from PI.
In Rule based message listener does MII buffers the messages received from PI.
Any related document which clearly gives a step by step process for the above.
Appreciate your help.
Srinu

Hi Srini,
Both types ie categorized and Transaction will work for your cases. MII will process them in the sequence received from PI.
You can use transaction for immediate processing however if you want to refer to these buffered message from MII i future, use category based processing and store the messageid for each,via which you could access them from a transaction via ReadMessage.

FTP Authentication Required

Hi,
I have a IronPort S370.
Proxy FTP is not enabled, so we use FTP over HTTP.
We have create policies to access some sites FTP, but that doesn't work.
We get a message "Page cannot be displayed : FTP authentication required"
Have you an idea ?
Thank you in advance for your help !

Hi,
If you are using FTP over HTTP, you would have to prepend the username password in the URL. e.g:
"ftp://USERNAME:[email protected]"
For more information, please check the section "How to access an FTP site that is not anonymous using Internet Explorer" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb794745.aspx

Hello I am not able to published to the web using an FTP the test has a negative response I do not know what is required in Directory/path Protocol and port

If you use FTP then ftp is the protocol and 21 is the port.
Your webhoster will tell you what path to use.
You probably can read it in the FAQ/Help/Support pages where you host your website.
All difficult words are explained in manuals, dictionaries or wikis.
