Hi,
First of all If you use SAP Exchange Infrastructure, you do not need to make the
settings for attachment transfer.
1- You must have installed the Web server(s) for storing attachments.
You can set up Web servers for exchanging documents. To do this you can
define the following types of publishing:
o   Publishing Internally
    This is the exchange of documents between systems that belong to
    your own area of responsibility (intranet).
o   Publishing externally
    This is the exchange of documents with partners who should be given
    external access (from the extranet) to their own data.
If the publishing settings for external and internal access are
identical, you can use a single Web server for exchanging data.
To allow internal or external access to attachments, enter the following
data for the Publish Internally or Publish Externally option:
o   Internal/external host
    Identifiable name of the Web server (for example, P123456.sap.com).
o   Internal/external port
    Port of the Web server (for example, 1080).
o   Internal/external directory
    Directory on the Web server that you want to use for publishing
    attachments. Note that this entry is used for generating a URL, and
    so you have to specify a relative path (for example, EBP).
o   Read view (host, port, directory)
    If necessary, enter different parameters if the published URL is
    different than the normal URL for publishing documents.
o   User and password
    Depending on the security settings of the Web server for publishing
    attachments, you can specify a user (and password) with write
    access.
o   Write proxy
    Enter the name of the proxy server used for giving write access.
Example
Transferring Attachments
It makes sense to set up attachment transfer in the following cases:
o   To transfer a product configuration from the Internet Sales cata
     to a purchasing document (shopping cart, or purchase order) in
     Enterprise Buyer.
o   To allow vendors to access the attachments of purchase orders th
     were transferred by XML. The purchase orders contain links (URLs
     the attachments.
Further notes
Transferring Attachments
o   In order to generate URLs, the system requires information about
     internal access to the Web server (Publish Internally) and about
     external access (that is, retrieving attachments).
o   Your Web server administrator should ensure the following:
     -   That external access to the Web server is possible (if desir
     -   That relevant read and write authorizations have been define
         the Web server directory for the SRM system
     -   That published documents on the Web servers are deleted when
         they are no longer required
