For RFC destination SAPFTPA check if the activation type is "Start on Application Server".\\
Check if the exe file  sapftp is present in the application server in the path /usr/sap/<SYS ID>/SYS/exe/run

You can enable trace setting in the RFC destination and view it with report RSFTP001 or RSRFCTRC.

!FTP sporadical connection stuck

We had unpredictable aborts and stucks in the connection suddently with various
connections but generally only when getting files. 
The network guys were not able to help, but it showed up that 
changing the FTP connection from "active" mode to "passive" mode helped.

SAP's special command for this is (not [PASV|http://www.raidenftpd.com/kb/deu-kb000000010.html]):
{{{
set passive on
}}}

!New in HCM EHP6

According to [SAP note 1605054|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1605054]
and [EHP Infos|http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp] and [SCN|http://scn.sap.com/thread/3227847] there is a new table used as whitelist for FTP.
|t.SAPFTP_SERVERS|Servers allowed to be used with SAPFTP
You can put a "*" in FTP_SERVER_NAME and allow all servers for the specific client (port is not important).
