  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check HTTP Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in your SAP system.
  Look for the HTTP connection that is supposed to be used by the File Loader. This is usually a destination that points to the server or service that provides the files or data.
  If the destination does not exist, you will need to create it. If it exists, ensure that it is correctly configured.

  Assign the HTTP Destination to the File Loader:
  
  After ensuring that the HTTP destination is correctly set up, you may need to assign it to the File Loader configuration in the ESH settings.
  This can typically be done in the ESH configuration settings, where you specify the destination for the File Loader.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user or service account that is trying to access the File Loader has the necessary authorizations to use the HTTP destination.
