How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
Thanks,
Madhu

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping

How to get folders from your server using IMAP and push, 3G.

After looking all over this forum looking for an answer, I found out on my own. here's how:
Step 1: Login to your email server.
- If you can, log into your email server via webmail. This ensures that you are in fact connected to your email server and your folders are being created. If your email server doesn't have webmail, then create the folders using whatever email app you have on your PC or Mac.
Step 2: Creating the folders.
- All the folders you want to have show up on your iphone must be created as sub-folders under your Inbox folder on the server. Here's what mine looks like for example.
Mailbox
-Inbox
++-Sent Messages
++-Deleted Messages
++-Friends
++-Work
++-Others
-Drafts
-Sent
-Deleted
-Junk Email
*you may be wondering why I have 2 sent and Deleted folders. I have it set up so that the folders in the inbox are for the iphone, and the ones outside are from Outlook.
Step 3: Getting the folders to show up on the iphone.
- Once you set up your IMAP account on the iphone 3g, simply log into the account, wait for it to finish checking for emails, then tap the Inbox button. Give it a few seconds to load if it's loading something. After it finishes, back out by tapping the 'Mailboxes' in the top-left corner, and your folders should be there.

So you'd use Java to send the WebDAV protocol. Since this is a Java forum, it would help if you provided the WebDAV part of the equation and we can help with the Java part. Okay? Let us know when you have the WebDAV information.

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

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".

Upload files from FTP server

Hi Friends,
We are loading some files from FTP server into the BW (Datasource)
In the infopackage we have given the setting as 'Load from application server' and have given the file path as it is in application server. No routine has been created.
Files are successfully loading from FTP server to the BW datasource.
My question is:
In the infopackage we have only maintained that it should be loaded from application server and the file path.
But how the system(infopackage) gets to know that from which server(FTP) it should pick. Is there any table to maintain these entries. i.e when infopackage is scheduled it only pings the required server and picks the file with the help of given file path.But how does it know which server it should ping.
Pls help.
Thanks & Regards,
Niku

Hello Niku,
It seems in your case you have only one FTP, and the system is pointing by default to that FTP and picking the required files fro your Info Package.
Normally a Standard ABAP Program RSFTP002 is used to communicate to the FTP Server with the help of RFC . In the Same program you can maintain the credentials ( USerName and password) along with the Source and Destination related properties .
Back to your query , you can check the same in above program ( RSFTP002 ) through SE38 and cross verify your FTP .
Hope this helps !

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

[HELP] Download file from FTP server

hi,
I want to write a java program that can download and upload files from ftp server. Currently I only manage to upload a file to ftp server but i cant download file from ftp server. Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {
private static final int CTRLPORT = 21;
private static Socket ctrlSocket;
private static PrintWriter ctrlOutput;
private static BufferedReader ctrlInput;
private static byte[] localHostAddress;
public final static String DIR = "C:\\zip\\";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String host = "192.168.1.1";
String loginName = "testuser";
String password = "password";
String dirName = "/home/testuser";
String fileName = "hello.zip";
ctrlSocket = new Socket(host, CTRLPORT);
localHostAddress = ctrlSocket.getLocalAddress().getAddress();
ctrlOutput = new PrintWriter(ctrlSocket.getOutputStream());
ctrlInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ctrlSocket.getInputStream()));
ctrlOutput.println("USER " + loginName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("PASS " + password);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("CWD " + dirName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("TYPE I");
ctrlOutput.flush();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(DIR + fileName);
Socket dataSocket = dataConnection("STOR " + fileName);
OutputStream outstr = dataSocket.getOutputStream();
int n;
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
while ((n = fis.read(buff)) > 0) {
outstr.write(buff,0,n);
dataSocket.close();
fis.close();
ctrlOutput.close();
ctrlInput.close();
ctrlSocket.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private static Socket dataConnection(String ctrlcmd)
throws IOException,UnknownHostException {
String cmd = "PORT ";
ServerSocket serverDataSocket = new ServerSocket(0,1);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
cmd = cmd + (localHostAddress[i] & 0xff) + ",";
cmd = cmd + (((serverDataSocket.getLocalPort())/256) & 0xff)
+ ","
+ (serverDataSocket.getLocalPort() & 0xff);
ctrlOutput.println(cmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println(ctrlcmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
Socket dataSocket = serverDataSocket.accept();
serverDataSocket.close();
return dataSocket;
}

Or just use a java.net.URL("ftp://...) ..., get its input stream, and away you go ...
