Connectivity
Module of ERP
With
the growth in popularity of the
Internet comes a dramatic increase
in the availability of information.
This wealth of information is
useless to us, however, unless
we have the means to access it.
Fortunately with the help of File
Transfer Protocol (FTP), it is
an easy way to design and develop
programs that can access and pass
on information on the Internet.
In our
present scenario it is also required
to exchange information between
several locations of the organisation.
As the installation charges and
regular running cost for a dedicated
satellite lease line is astronomical,
exchanging data packet is a low
cost solution.
In this
chapter we will describe, in a
step-by-step fashion, how to connect
to and disconnect from an FTP
server. This is not a list of
codes but the conceptual derivation
of the module to be developed.
