Secure FTP from SAP

Question

Hi,
How do you handle secure FTP from SAP without using scripting ?
Is it possible to set up your RFC destination using the SSL option under the Logon/Security Tab ?
Or is there another method ?
Cheers
Colin.

Here is an example of
how to FTP a file from the Application server to a remote server using standard SAP functions.
REPORT ZKBTST32 LINE-SIZE 132.
Test SAP FTP functions
DATA: BEGIN OF MTAB_DATA OCCURS 0,
LINE(132) TYPE C,
END OF MTAB_DATA.
DATA: MC_PASSWORD(20) TYPE C,
MI_KEY TYPE I VALUE 26101957,
MI_PWD_LEN TYPE I,
MI_HANDLE TYPE I.
START-OF-SELECTION.
MC_PASSWORD = 'password'.
DESCRIBE FIELD MC_PASSWORD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN.
*-- FTP_CONNECT requires an encrypted password to work
CALL 'AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING'
ID 'SOURCE' FIELD MC_PASSWORD ID 'KEY' FIELD MI_KEY
ID 'SCR' FIELD 'X' ID 'DESTINATION' FIELD MC_PASSWORD
ID 'DSTLEN' FIELD MI_PWD_LEN.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
EXPORTING
USER = 'userid'
PASSWORD = MC_PASSWORD
HOST = 'servername'
RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPFTP'
IMPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
EXCEPTIONS
NOT_CONNECTED = 1
OTHERS = 2.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
EXPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
COMMAND = 'dir'
TABLES
DATA = MTAB_DATA
EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
LOOP AT MTAB_DATA.
WRITE: / MTAB_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
do some error checking.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
EXPORTING
HANDLE = MI_HANDLE
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.
Hope this helps you,
