FTP server file reader

Hai,
I want to read the files present in FTP server without downloading.
Using (org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*); this package I can view the files and directories present in particular host and can even download.
But I want to read the files in directories without downloading them for displaying the file contents in my JApplet.
How can I achieve this?
Waiting for reply...

this is the wrong forum for such q.

FTP server file path

Hi Experts,
I need to place the file in "C:/CacheSys/PI" in FTP server.
what is the target directory i must specify in Communication channel.
Kind Regards,
kiran

Hi
you can use the same name in the target directory.
but the folder that you create should be on the same path.
C:/CacheSys/PI
go to c: dir , then go to Cachesys then go to PI and put the file in this folder.
if you still face the problem please reply me back.
Thanks

Multiple FTP server files for sender File adoptor

Hi,
we have a requirement to pick files from different FTP servers and send it as a proxy message to ECC.File structure format for both FTP server locations is same and I need to send as a same proxy message.
Please let me know how to achieve this. Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Here you are having two FTP Server to pick the files so that you need to create below list of objects.
For two different FTP Server you need to create two different sender systems
2 sender File channels
2 sender agreements
2 receiver determinations
2 interface determinations(use single inbound interface in both interface determinations)
2 receiver agreement
If you want to use single sender then
2 sender File channels
2 sender agreements
2 receiver determinations
2 interface determinations(use single inbound interface in both interface determinations)
1 receiver agreement
thanks,
madhu

FTP server permissions "Read Only"

I manage my own website, and would like to use Finder as my FTP medium. I can log into it, and download from it, but I cannot write to it. I have web admin privileges, but I'm unable to UPload to my ftp server.
It runs on the basic port 21, and has run normally in the past, but this is the first time that I've tried to mount it as a volume on a mac.
This way would be so much easier to use than the FTP online protocol that I use.
Thanks in advance,
Superd@ve

Hi, yes,FTP is Read only in the finder in .4. at least.
You can use Terminal commands or a free FTP client such as Cyberduck to get both R&W rights..

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

Hi
am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'
EXPORTING
handle = hdl
fname = f_name "ProdDataFromCRM.xls.
* CHARACTER_MODE = 'X'
* IMPORTING
* BLOB_LENGTH =

BLOB = lt_text
* TEXT = lt_text
EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Hi Rakhi,
Use the below code to check if you have received the proper data.
call function 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3' "Get data as character instead of BLOB
    exporting
      handle         = hdl
      fname          = docid
      character_mode = 'X'
    tables
      text           = chardata.
If the data is incorrect, it is possible that you are in the wrong directory.
Use
call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
    exporting
      handle        = hdl
      command       = 'cd mydir\mysubdir' "cd <space> your path
    tables
      data          = result

      tcpip_error   = 1
      command_error = 2
      data_error    = 3.

Reading a file from ftp server

Hi
I am able to put file on ftp server using ftp adapter.But same settings are not working while polling file on ftp.
Do i need to do some settings for get operation??

Hi,
Check the file permissions and for testing give all read/write/execute permissions to the file to be read from FTP. Also check the file modification date of the file.
Check for the logs at 2 places for any error messages:
- SOA server diagnostics logs
- FTP server logs
You can also enable the FINEST level of Adapter logs for adapters and see for the detailed errors in the diagnostic logs.
FMW Console > right click soa-infra > Logs > Log Configuration > expand oracle.soa > set Trace32 : FINEST for oracle.soa.adapter
