How do you send by secure ftp from SAP R/3 4.6C on iseries

We have been using the SAP Standard program, RSFTP002, to ftp files to remote servers for many years. We have now had a requirement to send via secure ftp. We are using R/3 4.6C. Unfortunatley this is not a straight forward change and it seems we may need to install some client software to enable this.
I have searched for any SAP notes and in several user groups but have not been too sucessful.
Has anyone ever set this up before? What client software did you use?
Any pointers / advice on this would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Steven

Further to my initial post, I have now discovered that there are additional options on the ftp command on iseries, so I am hoping if I can perform this manaully, then a CL called from SAP would allow me to resolve this challenge.
I am trying to use the command below but this will use the port 990.
FTP RMTSYS(INTNETADR) INTNETADR('*.*.*.*') PORT(SECURE) SECCNN(*SSL)
The vendor is requesting that we use port 443 for secure ftp with SSL and even specifying this in the command as below still does not work. It seems to me there may be an issue at the receiving end. Port 443 is normally used for https so not sure whether specifying this port could cause issues. The resultant error is below.
FTP RMTSYS(INTNETADR) INTNETADR('*.*.*.*') PORT(443) SECCNN(SSL)
Connecting to remote host 62.39.53.181 using port 443.  
No response from remote host; all connections closed.
Any other comments would be welcomed.
Many thanks,
Steven

  • How do you send iMessage to iPad from iphone, I cannot type "@" in message

    I have my ipad updated and set it to use my email for the imessage in my iPad
    then, I realized that I cannot type "@" in the imessage in iPhone (therefore, cannot type mail address)
    how to do send an imessage from iPhone to iPad?
    thanks for the help

    I am having the same problem. The email addresses for my contacts do not appear on the iPhone, they do appear on the iPad. So if I want to imessage my wife from my iPhone I only get the option to send to her email address, if I do it from my iPad I get her email.
    The only way that I have found so far is to go into my Contacts and at the very bottom select Send Message, then I can select her email.
    For some reason the @ is missing since when I select the 123 button it gives me the dial keyboard instead of the special characters keyboard.

  • How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

    How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

    The iPad must have iMessage registered and enabled, and you need to address the iMessage to an email address that is set up and selected to be used with iMessage on the iPad. If the iPad owner also has an iPhone, an iMessage can be addressed to the iPhone's cell phone number if the iPad owner has their iPhone number selected to be reached at with iMessage on the iPad.

  • How do you send pics from iPad?

    How do you send pics from iPad? I've tried to use the photos icon at the bottom, select the pics, and enter the email address. Problem is they never show up in the email. Any thoughts? I've also tried Pages app and a few others with the same result.

    I discussed the problem with Melissa at Apple. We tried reset, then we found about 50 attempts to email pics from Photos, stuck in Outbox. Deleted all of them, and we were able to send pic from Photos. Next day the problem was back, and emptying Outbox does not fix. Have not tried renewing account yet, worried about losing Inbox stuff.

  • How do you send photos from ipod to photo website (i.e.Kodak) for printing?

    How do you send photos from ipod to photo website (i.e.Kodak) for printing? I'm copying all the photos from my PC to my ipod (to free up hard drive space on the PC). Once I do this, how do I use the photos on the ipod, i.e. printing, emailing?
    Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure that you'll have to transfer them back to your hard drive to print or email them.
    Also, do yourself a favor: back up you photos.

  • After using media from iCloud on a MacBook , how do you send the media back onto the cloud so the media is stored there and not in my MacBook?

    After downloading media from iCloud and watching/listening to it, how do you send it back to the iCloud for storing it rather than leave it in my MacBook?

    Apps, music, books, tv shows, movies and music videos are already in iCloud.  All you need to do is delete them from your Mac and you can download them again in the future as explained here: Download past purchases.  (This is not available for audiobooks, ringtones or tones.)  However, to download them again they still have to be available in the iTunes, iBooks and App stores, and the copyright owner has to allow it.  To avoid the risk of them not being available in the future, keep them in your iTunes library.

  • HT201303 How do you change your security question?

    How do you change your security question for iTunes?

    If you can remember them then you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com
    If you don't know them and you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?

    I want to send some file by FTP.
    How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?
    Any ideas?

    Enrique,
    Are you trying to transfer more content from remote locations to expose as items within a portal page? By itself, the Oracle Portal runs within the context of the database so I'm not sure how FTP at the OS level will help. However, if you're attempting to transfer files from a remote PC to upload within the Portal, here are a couple of suggestions.
    Option 1:
    A. Create a portal page.
    B. Convert a region to Items.
    C. When you're challenged to upload a file from the local OS, ensure you've a drive mapped to your remote location and pick the file to upload into the Oracle9iAS Portal.
    Option 2:
    Alternatively, the Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2 supports the WebDAV protocol(Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning Protocol) allowing endusers with a WebDAV client to upload content into the Portal seamlessly from their desktop.
    Pls. check out:

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.
