FTP Sensor

FTP (Short for File Transfer Protocol) is used on the Internet for exchanging files (e.g. to upload content to a webpage or to download files from a server).

Like most other protocol sensors, the FTP sensor offers several monitoring levels:

·      Connect: Just connect and send QUIT (checks whether the server is running and accepting requests at all)

·      USER: Send USER with the provided login (checks whether server reacts according to protocol)

·      PASS: Send PASS with the password for the user (checks whether a user can actually log in)

Parameters include:

·      PORT—the port number of the mail service you want to monitor (usually port 21)

·      Monitoring Level—The level of monitoring (see above)

·      User—the username to log in with

·      Password—the password for this user
