Secure ftp of files stored in a directory on the operating system

Question

Is it possible to secure ftp files directly from the server without first storing them in the flows database? (Apex 3.2; Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4; Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4). If so, are there security issues?

Hi ,
Use EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
Refer the below code I have used in one of my assignment.
DATA:   l_check_msg(50)  TYPE c,
          l_filemask       LIKE epsf-epsfilnam.
  CONCATENATE p_sysid '*' INTO l_filemask.
  CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
       EXPORTING
            dir_name               = wa_ztsifregi-pathname
            file_mask              = l_filemask
       TABLES
            dir_list               = i_files
       EXCEPTIONS
            invalid_eps_subdir     = 1
            sapgparam_failed       = 2
            build_directory_failed = 3
            no_authorization       = 4
            read_directory_failed  = 5
            too_many_read_errors   = 6
            empty_directory_list   = 7
            OTHERS                 = 8.
  IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    CASE sy-subrc.
      WHEN 1.
        l_check_msg = 'Invalid subdirectory'(005).
      WHEN 2.
        l_check_msg = 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING failed'(006).
      WHEN 3.
        l_check_msg = 'Build directory failed'(007).
      WHEN 4.
        l_check_msg = 'No authorization'(008).
      WHEN 5.
        l_check_msg = 'Read directory failed'(009).
      WHEN 6.
        l_check_msg = 'Too many read error'(010).
*      WHEN 7.
*        l_check_msg = 'Empty directory'(011).
      WHEN OTHERS.
        l_check_msg = 'Unexpected error from function module'(012).
    ENDCASE.
Hope this solves your query.
