SFTP (FTP over SSH) in XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I already searched the forum for this topic and found some useful threads:

Still I'm a bit unsure what would be the best way to implement SFTP with XI. To those of you who already implemented such a scenario:

- How did you do that? With an adapter that you build yourself? Or is it also possible to use adapter modules?

- I think that you need a special tool for SSH connections? What tool do you use? Free of charge or commercial tools?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

SEEBURGER AG (www.seeburger.de) offers an SFTP/SCP adapter for SAP XI.

This adapter is fully integrated in the SAP XI adapter framework.

hi Carmen,

I'm not sure it this is the best way

but we did it a java proxy in one of our projects

there are some free SFTP java libraries

which you can use (google to find)

so not a lot of coding

we have created a WWW to put the sftp config

fot this proxy (key, pass, user, etc)

Hi Michal,

I already read about your solution with a java proxy. Can you describe your solution more detailed? What is the advantage of using a proxy instead of a self-developed adapter?

hi Carmen,

only one:

much easier to develop - 2 days for a prototype

it's better to develop an adapter

but it all depends: how many interfaces will be

using it, etc.)
