Use Passive Mode. Select this option to instruct WhatsUp Gold to use passive (PASV)
mode as it attempts to connect to the FTP server and then to perform the selected
tasks. If you do not select this option, the monitor uses Active mode. This option is
selected by default. For more information, see Active and Passive modes.
6 Make the appropriate selections in the File Actions section:
Upload. Select this option to have the active monitor upload a file to the designated
FTP server. This option is selected by default.
Download. Select this option to have the active monitor download a file from the
designated FTP server. This option is selected by default.
Delete. Select this option to have the active monitor delete a file from the designated
FTP server. This option is selected by default.
Note: You cannot select the Download or Delete options if you have not selected the Upload
option.
Timeout (sec). Type a timeout (in seconds) for the amount of time WhatsUp Gold
should wait for each attempted task to complete. The default timeout is 3 seconds.
Use in Rescan. Select this option to have the monitor appear in the Active Monitor list
on the Device Properties dialog. WhatsUp Gold adds the monitor type to the device
during a rescan, which is launched using the Rescan button on the Device Properties
dialog, if the protocol or service is active on the device.
7 Click OK to save changes.
After configuring an active monitor in the Active Monitor Library, add the monitor to devices
(on page 226).
Adding and editing an HTTP Content Monitor
This monitor requests a URL and checks the HTTP response against the expected content. If
the response does not return the expected content, the monitor fails. You can use this
monitor to ensure that your web pages are available for viewing or that they are rendering on
certain browsers. For example, you can check to see that a web page contains specific
content that is to be listed after a certain date, such as "Ipswitch introduces its newest release,
WhatsUp Gold v15." If the monitor does not find the content that you request it to find, the
monitor fails and you know to update your web page.
Note: You can access some HTTPS sites, such as Gmail's login screen, using the HTTP content
monitor.
Note: This feature is only available in WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition. To update your
license, visit the MyIpswitch portal (http://www.myipswitch.com).
