OneSight Administrator Guide

Configuring FTP Monitors
When opening a connection, the server name you provide is
resolved via the Hosts file or a domain name server. If you have
no domain name server on the local network and do not use a
Hosts file, you must specify the full IP address of the host FTP
server.
User Name – Specifies the name used to log in to the FTP
server. This must be a valid user name registered on the FTP
server. When opening an anonymous connection, the user name
is usually ―anonymous.‖
Password – Specifies the password assigned to the specified
user. Most anonymous FTP servers expect you to supply your e-
mail address as the password.
File Name – Specifies the name of the server file that you want
the FTP monitor to retrieve. The specification should include
the name of the server folder where the file is located (for
example: /Maps/Antarctica.html).
Timeout: Seconds – Specifies the maximum number of
seconds to wait while trying to establish an FTP server
connection or for data packets to be transferred from the host.
On Failure – Indicates whether to include additional information
in an alert when the monitor fails.
Include Traceroute in alert – Includes a trace route in the alert.
Include Ping in alert – Includes the results of a ping in the
alert. This option is faster than including the trace route in
the alert.
Do Nothing – Does not include any additional information in
the alert.
Sample Every: – Specifies how often samples are
taken for this monitor. Refer to, ―Sample Every Settings,‖ later
in this chapter for a description of these settings.
