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.
