FTP Monitoring Sensor

The FTP sensor provides performance and availability monitoring of your target FTP server. Upon establishing an FTP connection, the sensor verifies that your target server responds with the correct greeting and status code.

Optionally, it will also attempt to authenticate against your server using the supplied username and password credentials.

Parameters

Hostname or IP
The hostname or IP of the FTP service to be monitored.

Username
The username with which this sensor will attempt to log in to the target FTP server.

Password
The password with which this sensor will attempt to log in to the target FTP server.

TCP Port
Specifies the TCP port that the monitored FTP server is running on. Defaults to 21.

Timeout
Number of seconds after which we consider the FTP server to have failed if no response is received. Default is 15 seconds.

Use EPSV
Use Extended Passive Mode. Some newer FTP servers do not support our default Passive Mode; try this option if you receive an unexpected connection error.
