If the SAP server (Apps or DB) has security access to the folder where the
file is located on the PC (if it's in the same LAN or WAN, share that
folder ) You can define a logical file path (transaction FILE ) that
defines that PC Folder. Once you can reach the PC Folder from SAP, Import
the file and move it somwhere else. I don't know any ABAP command that
allows you to copy or move a file but you can read the content, and write
it somewhere else and delete the source (delete dataset).
Maybe you will be facing problems like the file is not complete (FTP is in
progress) or user has locked the file. If you know exactly at what time
the file is sent by FTP, define a job in SAP a couple of minutes later (in
case) that will process the file and repeat that job every 30 minutes.
Regard,
Pierre

Subject: Upload File Background Task
I know this is impossible from normal SAP FM's and that SAP now longer supports the rfcexec from a local PC either in the newer SAPGui versions.
So has anybody out there had this same requirement. An FTP process outside of SAP puts a new file into a directory every 30 minutes on a local PC (note, appln server in Japan) and company in USA. A program needs to read the file and create a sales order in SAP, after upload it moves the file to a log directory. Note the program is not executed by a user. I have begun to think that I need to create an Event in SAP, any ideas?
