Protocol Overview

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network.  Read more on Wikipedia.

Implemented features

Currently FTP protocol allows you to FTP server monitor if is available or check files number in default directory after login(including hidden). It is possible to connect with FTP serivce via proxy server. In this case make sure if your proxy server allows FTP connections. 

Host name formats

You can enter your server name with ftp:// or without it

Example
ftp://myservier.com
or
myserver.com

Protocol settings

Pulse - Monitoring Tool for JIRA provide availability request to the server. You can define:

  • "correct" response time,
  • success service status strategy,
  • timeout.

If timeout reached, and you still do NOT have response it means that e. g. server is down. Timeout protect your service against the eternal waiting for response - after that period your service will be notified about unavailability and next test will be executed.

Examples

Below you can find sample FTP availability and files check configuration in PULSE - Monitoring Tool for JIRA.
 

There are few steps to take FTP service test.They include:


  • check if FTP server is running on specified port,
  • estabilish connection with FTP server,
  • correctly authorize,
  • count files (include the hidden ones).

There will be runned three tests and after one minute there will be run new test serie. For each test timeout equals five seconds. If ANY test from all of them (in this case - any from three tests) connect correctly and number of counted files will be higher than eight, our service test result will be set as "Success". In addition we checked "Collect test history" option which means all test results will be stored in database. It enables status history analysis. Stored detailed results are downloadable as *.csv file.
