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
 exceptions
 tcpip_error = 1
 command_error = 2

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".

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,

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.
