Slow transfer of files from ftp server to client system

Recently when i connect to my ftp server, copying files is very slow, using either Ethernet or Airport, this wasn't the case before. At first i thought it was my network cable but using it with another Mac, files are copied fast. I don't want to format my computer, any ideas why i'm having this slow connection?

Hi Steve!
Your problem sounds like a duplex issue with your Ethernet connection or you have more than just one network switch/hub between you and the server and they aren't configured very well.
Many network admins force their network switches to 100MB/full because Intel machines don't sometimes negotiate their speeds very well. However, Macs typically hate to be forced and prefer "auto" configuration.
Verify that you have one network switch between you and the server and if so, verify that your Mac's network port is set to auto-negotiate your speed and duplex.
You can type "ifconfig" into a Terminal window on your Mac to determine its current speed and duplex. Look for a line that says something like "media: autoselect status: active". For a wired Ethernet port you'll also see the speed and duplex of your connection.
Hope this helps! bill

How to transfer the files from one server to another through pl/sql...?

I want to transfer all the files from source server with respective directory to designation server with respective directory (designation server - oracle reside server).
Is it possible to ftp from one server to another server(designation server - oracle reside server) through pl/sql. these two servers are independent & unix server.

No ... The package mentioned in
http://www.oracle-base.com/dba/miscellaneous/ftp.pks
this works for across the server i.e. transfer the files from one server to other (it is basically ftp) ..
So it is NOT correct that this code transfer the file between two location & with in server..

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.

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
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.
Thanks,

hi,
I want to write a java program that can download and upload files from ftp server. Currently I only manage to upload a file to ftp server but i cant download file from ftp server. Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {
private static final int CTRLPORT = 21;
private static Socket ctrlSocket;
private static PrintWriter ctrlOutput;

String dirName = "/home/testuser";
String fileName = "hello.zip";
ctrlSocket = new Socket(host, CTRLPORT);
localHostAddress = ctrlSocket.getLocalAddress().getAddress();
ctrlOutput = new PrintWriter(ctrlSocket.getOutputStream());
ctrlInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ctrlSocket.getInputStream()));

ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("TYPE I");
ctrlOutput.flush();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(DIR + fileName);
Socket dataSocket = dataConnection("STOR " + fileName);
OutputStream outstr = dataSocket.getOutputStream();
int n;
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
while ((n = fis.read(buff)) > 0) {
outstr.write(buff,0,n);
dataSocket.close();
fis.close();
ctrlOutput.close();
ctrlInput.close();
ctrlSocket.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private static Socket dataConnection(String ctrlcmd)
throws IOException,UnknownHostException {
String cmd = "PORT ";
ServerSocket serverDataSocket = new ServerSocket(0,1);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
cmd = cmd + (localHostAddress[i] & 0xff) + ",";
cmd = cmd + (((serverDataSocket.getLocalPort())/256) & 0xff)
+ ","
+ (serverDataSocket.getLocalPort() & 0xff);
ctrlOutput.println(cmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println(ctrlcmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
Socket dataSocket = serverDataSocket.accept();
serverDataSocket.close();
return dataSocket;
}

Or just use a java.net.URL("ftp://...) ..., get its input stream, and away you go ...

Files from FTP server to Application server

Hi All,
I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface. Actually the process is already established at clientsite for placing master data files like product, plant etc from FTP server to App server through FTP adapter. Now my requirement is to move transaction data file with completely different structure as master data to App server. If we place these trasaction data file in same folder/directory as master data files does SAP XI pick this file also. If not what are the steps I need to follow to achieve this. I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
Right now our process for master data files is SAP XI picks the files and deletes the file from FTP server folder. The master data file names are plant_attr.csv, product_attr.csv etc and transcation data file name is salestrasactiondata.csv. I need to move these files to application server on daily bases.
I appreciate your help .
Regards
Bob.

> I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface.
Hello Bob,
Yes it is possible.
There can be two ways of doing it.
1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
N:1 Mapping refer this blog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
BpmPatterns CollectMerge
part1 BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
part2 BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
Second option
Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
> I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
>
If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
similarly do it for transaction data.
So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

Sarvesh
