Using chmod from FTP

I'm 'installing' files using FTP.
Some executable files require the 'execute' bit to be set.
How can I invode chmod from Sun Solaris FTP - I get the message "invalid command" now.

Hi
Solaris 2.6 and onwards provide a /etc/default/ftpd file that can be
used to set the umask value for the ftp session. But unfortunately,
you still can not set the execute permissions directly due to security
reasons. i.e even if you have the "source" file with rwxrwxrwx
permissions and specify a UMASK value of 000 in /etc/default/ftpd,
you will only get the remote file permissions as rw-rw-rw-.
To accomplish the "execute" bit setting, you will have to use the
public domain software wu-ftpd which is available for download from

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,
Madhu

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

hi colin,
TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping

How to download a directory into local machine from FTP using java

Hi,
I want to download a directory from FTP. How can i achieve this.
Regards,
Ahamad

Achieve what? How about thinking about what you really have to do in detail? That way you might find out how it'll work and what to implement.
By the way, there are many Java FTP libraries (e.g. NetComponents.jar) available. Google will find them, and you can use them to do at least the accessing part of your program.

Problem using CLIENT_HOST to FTP files from forms 10g

Hi,
I'm trying to use forms 10g ODS & webutil on NT to allow a user to select a file on their machine or the network and transfer the file to a DB server. I want to transfer the file to the file system on the server NOT to a BLOB column on a table. I've used webutil (client_get_file_name) to display the dialog box and allow the user to select a file. This works fine. However, when I try to use CLIENT_HOST to FTP the selected
to the remote server it fails. I'm issuing the following
command from within forms:
CLIENT_HOST('CMD /C ftp -n -s:C:\test_ftp.txt');
Something tries to kick off and a grey area the size of a dos window flashes on to the screen for a couple of seconds but the FTP does not happen. The test_ftp.txt script is a simple ftp script that transfers one file and I know it works as I can run it successfully from DOS or NT command prompt.
Questions:
(1) Does anyone know how to pause the DOS window so you
can see what is actually happening ?
(2) Has anyone implemented FTP functionality
successfully using CLIENT_HOST in the same way that's
I'm trying ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Declan.

Okay...
Try this. For testing put your command in a .bat-file. In this .bat-file spool the output to a text-file. I'm not sure about the spooling syntax under Windows, check the Windows documentation for that. Like:
ftp.bat
start spooling to ftp.out
cmd /c .... (your ftp commando line)
stop spooling
Perhaps the problem is that it doesn't find the ftp commando? Try hardcode the path like c:\windows\ftp ... etc!

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

Hi
am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'
EXPORTING
handle = hdl
fname = f_name "ProdDataFromCRM.xls.
* CHARACTER_MODE = 'X'
* IMPORTING
* BLOB_LENGTH =
TABLES
BLOB = lt_text
* TEXT = lt_text
EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
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".

Hi Rakhi,
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
      data_error    = 3.

Reading a file from ftp server

Hi
I am able to put file on ftp server using ftp adapter.But same settings are not working while polling file on ftp.
Do i need to do some settings for get operation??

Hi,
Check the file permissions and for testing give all read/write/execute permissions to the file to be read from FTP. Also check the file modification date of the file.
Check for the logs at 2 places for any error messages:
- SOA server diagnostics logs
- FTP server logs
You can also enable the FINEST level of Adapter logs for adapters and see for the detailed errors in the diagnostic logs.
FMW Console > right click soa-infra > Logs > Log Configuration > expand oracle.soa > set Trace32 : FINEST for oracle.soa.adapter

[HELP] Download file from FTP server

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;
private static BufferedReader ctrlInput;
private static byte[] localHostAddress;
public final static String DIR = "C:\\zip\\";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String host = "192.168.1.1";
String loginName = "testuser";
String password = "password";
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.println("USER " + loginName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("PASS " + password);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("CWD " + dirName);
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 ...
