Protecting FTP Access to the AS ABAP

Use

SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) ABAP includes a component SAPFTP ( BC-SRV-COM-FTP) that enables the AS ABAP to act as an FTP client. By default the AS ABAP does not allow SAPFTP to access to any FTP server. Applications that depend on SAPFTP cannot function. To grant access to an FTP server use the Data Browser (transaction SE16) to enter the name of the server and the port in table SAPFTP_SERVERS.

The component includes a number of programs that begin with the name RSFTP. These reports are protected with the authorization object S_ADMI_FCD and the value SFTP.
