Secure FTP using ABAP

Hello,
Can we do a secure FTP using ABAP code ??
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Sorry, I think the SAP function modules FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND und FTP_DISCONNECT are implemented according to RFC859 which is far behind secure connections. As SAP ftp goes throug SAP RFC destinations, this may be the spot where something has to be done to enable a secure connection.

Clemens

  • How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ?

    Hi folks ,
    How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ? please help me very ugernt . I tried with all standard FTP commands
    but doest work out me . Helping in this regard highly appreciated ...
    Thanks and regards,
    Swarupa Vanarchi

    Hi
    dont you  have used the os user while calling the FTP_CONNECT FM?
    Hope you are not talking about the user executing the FTP program.
    Else If you are talking about the FTP file creator then its not related to abap as you can handle it by maintaining the user in file name itself.
    May be i am going too far with if and elses here as your question possesses no  clarity.
    Plz elaborate your requirement  before anybody can help.

  • Secure FTP using FTPS (SSL/TLS) - need help!

    I am trying to use an FTP Sender Channel using Secure FTP.  I am currently getting a "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect" error.
    I am on XI 3.0 with SP13. 
    Settings are FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS for Control and Data)
    Command Order Auth TLS, USER, PASS, PBSZ, PROT.
    I am able to connect from my pc using WSFTP Pro which looks to be using the same command order.  I made sure WSFTP Pro was set for passive connections as XI only supports this until SP15.
    I have asked our Basis support to make sure the proper ports are open that are used for the connection and file transfer.  They have deployed the Java Cryptographic Toolkit on XID, and changed the startup mode for SSL runtime from 'manual' to 'always'.  The site I will connect to uses a certificate from Equifax which was added to the TrustedCAs keystore view.  After still not being able to get a file, I also added the certificate of the site, which I was able to export from WSFTP Pro and import onto XI with STRUST.
    I have increased the J2EE trace for com.sap.aii.adapter.file to Debug, but I haven't been able to get much out of the log.  I see entries, such as some SSL activity and the timeout, but nothing that points me to an answer.  Of course, I really don't know what to look for.
    I have tried to connect to the remote server by name or ip with the same connection timeout. 
    I currently don't have it set to use X.509 certificate for Client Auth, but I did try a few of those options with no luck.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric Peterson

    Eric,
    Did you ever solve the problem ? I am having the same issue.

  • FTP using ABAP

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to read a file from a server (e.g) XYZ.123.com and other details which are provided to us are user name (e.g): Abc123 and Directory (e.g): /123/123/123/123l.
    My question is: Do we need a RFC connection to the server if yes then what type of RFC connection? If RFC connection is not required then what we have to do to establish the connection.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek.

    Hi Abhshk, there may be a more modern way but something like this has worked in the past
    *-- 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
    *-- Your SAP-UNIX FTP user name (case sensitive)
             user            = 'unixuser'
             password        = 'unixpassword'
    *-- Your SAP-UNIX server host name (case sensitive)
             host            = 'saphost'
             rfc_destination = 'sapsystemrfc'
           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

  • Recommend a good secure FTP client

    I am currently using Fetch 4.0.3 and it works well, but it will not allow me a secure connection. As a result, my password is NOT protected, and my website has been compromised. I have been advised to change my password, which I have done, but still, I can't log on with encryption. Not sure why, but "enable encryption" is grayed out and not available.
    Is there a better FTP client that I could switch to. One that will assure a secure connection? What does everyone recommend?

    Hi Rob--
    I'll second the suggestion of Transmit or Cyberduck.
    As for Fetch, there's secure then there's secure. Fetch 4.0.3 only supports secure passwords if your server supports the right kind of authentication (Kerberos). Perhaps what the people who were advising you was to use SFTP, which is a kind of secure FTP using SSH, which is very strong if you have a good password.
    I'm pretty sure Cyberduck supports SFTP. I know Transmit does, and Fetch 5.0 and later supports SFTP, too.

  • Secure FTP Protocol

    Can someone tell me what port Secure FTP uses? Is it different than the standard ftp port? Thanks in advance for any help given.

    If you are talking FTP over SSL, 990/tcp is the default. The port is configurable depending on the server software you are using.
    That is unless you are talking about SFTP which is over SSH 22/tcp (configurable).

  • Can we do a Secure FTP for an XML file from ABAP when firewall is enabled?

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement to send an XML file to an External FTP Server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled.
    I have to send an XML file with Purchase Order details. I completed that with the help of this blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2657. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
    Now I need to FTP the XML file that is generated. How should I be doing this? Can some of help me with this?
    I need to do a Secure FTP to the external non SAP server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled. Can some one tell me if SFTP is possible in ABAP.
    This is not a web service. I am working on dropping an XML file in an external FTP serveru2026 I have searched the forums but still in a confusion if weather Secure FTP is possible in ABAP  or not when our company firewall is enabledu2026
    If some one encountered this situation earlier please help,,,..any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions Richu2026
    I agree with you Rich that web services would be a better option. But I need to send this file to an external third party and they dont have web services.
    They are telling us that either we can send them an XML file or a CSV file in the format that they want. We decided to go with XML file format.
    I am done with formatting the Purchase Order details in the format that they want. Now the challenge is that I need to send this FTP file to them and it should be a Secure FTP when our fire wall is enabled,
    When you say
    1) Run an ABAP program to generate the XML file and put it on the local PC
    2) Log into the FTP site via some FTP client, could simply be windows as well.
    3) Manually cut/paste the file from the PC to the FTP site.
    For Step 1 running ABAP Program can I schedule a batch job?
    For Step 2 and Step 3 can I automate it in any other way..if not in ABAP?
    Can I advice my company to follow any alternate method in which they can automate this step 2 and step 3u2026if not in ABAP can it be possible in any other way as the third party does not have web services I now have no other alternative.

  • SSIS and Secured FTP Commands to GET a Remote File using wildcards

    So my biggest caveat here is dealing with wildcards! For the life of me I cannot find any good examples of SSIS and scripting that uses FTP wildcards to GET certain Files. In a nutshell, here's what I need to do...
    Query a SQL Server Database which has a parsed File Name, the first 50 characters of the file name.
    The Query "Result Set" is put into an Object Variable User::SQLServerFileList
    I then utilize a "Foreach Loop Container" which reads the User::SQLServerFileList and puts it into Variable User::SQLServerFileNm...which is again the first 50 characters of the File Name
    Within the "Foreach Loop Container", I then utilize an "Expression Task" which builds a variable User::RemoteFileLookup which is a concatenation of the User::RemoteFolderPath + User::SQLServerFileNm + the wildcard *(Variable
    User::RemoteWildCard)
    I then try and utilize a "FTP Task" to use that concatenated Variable to go and GET the Filename but every time I try, it does not like what I'm sending via the "FTP Task"
    Error: 0x0 at TF Secure FTP Task, ExecuteTask Failed:: Illegal characters in path.
    I realize I might have to do something like this via C#.
    My biggest challenge is providing the GET Command via the Remote FTP Site with a parsed Filename and utilizing a wildcard.
    mc7i1231_20140227_050114_27_05_02_09*.999
    And the Filename that exists on the FTP Server is...
    mc7i1231_20140227_050114_27_05_02_09_x12_a43419452ca844a9b8a00f61e655dca3.x12-20140303180032.999
    Can any gurus out there PLEASE help me out???
    Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    PSULionRP

    Hi PSULionRP,
    According to the document
    FTP Task, we can read that:
    The FTP task supports the ? and * wildcard characters in paths. This lets the task access multiple files. However, you can use wildcard characters only in the part of the path that specifies the file name. For example, C:\MyDirectory\*.txt is a valid
    path, but C:\*\MyText.txt is not.
    So, when you use expression tobuild the variable RemoteFolderPath, make sure the evaluated value of the expression conforms to the above rule.

  • Using Secure FTP to extract a file

    Dear all
    we want to create a mapping to read data from a set of tables and after some transformation to export the data into a flat file over a secure FTP protocol to a remote location.
    I am wondering :
    a) if that is feasible and if yes, then
    b) what are the parameters we have to use to achieve that.
    many thanks in advance

    A quick search at google reveals there are plenty of FTP libraries available for the various mainstream programming languages (Java, C, C++ etc).
    However, FTP has a very basic command set. (MKDIR, GET, PUT, DEL etc).
    So you are not going to be able to perform more advanced document management tasks (such as lock a document, check-in, check-out, modify metadata, modify security, search, sort etc) through standard FTP commands.
    In terms of setting metadata through FTP, you could potentially store the various processing instructions required in some type of XML file (or equivalent) and upload this XML file to the repository. A custom event handler could be created that listens for DOCUMENT_CREATED events, and then attempts to process the XML files and perform the various instructions contained within by calling the appropriate in-process Content DB FDK API.
    It's ugly, but possible.
    cheers
    Matt.

  • How do you send by secure ftp from SAP R/3 4.6C on iseries

    We have been using the SAP Standard program, RSFTP002, to ftp files to remote servers for many years. We have now had a requirement to send via secure ftp. We are using R/3 4.6C. Unfortunatley this is not a straight forward change and it seems we may need to install some client software to enable this.
    I have searched for any SAP notes and in several user groups but have not been too sucessful.
    Has anyone ever set this up before? What client software did you use?
    Any pointers / advice on this would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Steven

    Further to my initial post, I have now discovered that there are additional options on the ftp command on iseries, so I am hoping if I can perform this manaully, then a CL called from SAP would allow me to resolve this challenge.
    I am trying to use the command below but this will use the port 990.
    FTP RMTSYS(INTNETADR) INTNETADR('*.*.*.*') PORT(SECURE) SECCNN(*SSL)
    The vendor is requesting that we use port 443 for secure ftp with SSL and even specifying this in the command as below still does not work. It seems to me there may be an issue at the receiving end. Port 443 is normally used for https so not sure whether specifying this port could cause issues. The resultant error is below.
    FTP RMTSYS(INTNETADR) INTNETADR('*.*.*.*') PORT(443) SECCNN(SSL)
    Connecting to remote host 62.39.53.181 using port 443.  
    No response from remote host; all connections closed.
    Any other comments would be welcomed.
    Many thanks,
    Steven

  • Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC) - Web Service using ABAP Proxy

    Hi there
    I am trying to consume a Web Service using ABAP Proxies.  I have done the following in the system:
    I configured the HTTP and HTTPS Proxy settings. 
    I created a package with package interfaces SAI_TOOLS and SAPPINT included under the Use Access tab.
    I created the proxy classes by using the WSDL provided by the system I'm trying to interface with. 
    I created my HTTP destination RFC via SM59. 
    I configured a logical port for the proxy. 
    I developed the ABAP code for calling the proxy. 
    In the code the exception CX_AI_SYSTEM_FAULT gets raised with error message <b>"Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b> when I call the method for passing data to the destination system in the proxy class.
    I had a look at SM21 and the following message was written in the log:
    <b>"SOAP Runtime: SOAP Runtime exception: 111 occurred in method XP_READ_TAG of class CL_SOAP_XP at position 1
    SOAP Runtime: Exception message: Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b>.  I also looked at SAP Note 919886 which states that it can be dumps in the system, missing configuration or the path prefix of the RFC destination that is incorrect.  I cannot find any ST22 entries.  The trace file looks as follows:

    Hi,
    I have the same problem as described.
    Can you give me a little more information about the error you have solved in the proxy.
    Thanks for help

Maybe you are looking for
