Configuring FTP Monitors
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test General
and Advanced settings to determine if they are set
appropriately. After clicking the Test button, you will see
messages in the status window as the test runs and when the test
completes.
3. Each monitor that you add must have a unique name. You can
let OneSight create a unique name using the FTP specifications
you supply, or you can type in your own name for the monitor.
4. On the General tab, type in the server address of the FTP server
that you want to monitor. For example: ftp.company.com
5. Type in a known user name and password for the FTP server. If
a specific user name and password combination is not known,
try anonymous as the user name. An e-mail address is often the
default password.
6. Type 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).
7. By default, an FTP monitor will check the availability and
responsiveness of the FTP server every 10 minutes and will time
out after 120 seconds if the requested file is not found. If you
want the monitor to sample more or less frequently, change the
sampling interval. If you want to have the timeout occur earlier
or later, change the Timeout setting.
8. To verify that the monitor will work as configured, click the
Test button. The Monitor Test window provides information
about the success or failure of the test and indicates what may
be causing any problem.
9. If the test succeeds, click OK in the Add Monitor dialog box to
save these basic FTP monitor settings. You can now add this
