I have this report that generates a PDF file in the report server. I need this PDF file to be copied to another server using FTP. Here is the scenario:

Environment: Database Oracle 9.2.0.8.0 in Unix, Report Server 10.1.2.2.0 in Windows, Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2

A report is generated in the Report Server (Windows).
PDF file is the output, and this is saved in a folder in the Report Server.
This PDF file needs to be copied to another server using FTP.
Destination server OS is Unix.

I am trying to use the FTP package from oracle-base.com.
I created that FTP package in the database.
I created a procedure in the report that calls the FTP package.

PROCEDURE ftp_report IS
  l_conn UTL_TCP.connection;
BEGIN
  l_conn := ftp.login('destsrvr', '21', 'myuserid', 'mypasswd');
  ftp.binary(p_conn => l_conn);
  ftp.put(p_conn      => l_conn,
          p_from_dir  => 'g:\reports\output\',
          p_from_file => 'reportoutput.pdf',
          p_to_file   => '/home/myuserid/reports/reportoutput.pdf');
  ftp.logout(l_conn);
  utl_tcp.close_all_connections;
END;


This procedure is called from the After Report Trigger.

function AfterReport return boolean is
BEGIN
  ftp_report;
  return (TRUE);
END;


When the report is generated, this error occurs:

480   END IF;
481   get_reply(p_conn);
482 END;


Any ideas on how this could be solved?

Or if you have other ideas on how to transfer the file to the destination server, other than by the FTP package, please make the suggestion.

Thanks.
