FTP Test
As the name suggests, the FTP Test is designed for measuring
the availability and performance of FTP servers. Passive and
active FTP servers are supported.
To configure the FTP Test, enter the URL (web address) of
the file (eg: ftp://myftpserver.mydomain.com/pub/myfile).
You may then optionally enter a login ID and password. If
you do not enter these, then an anonymous login is assumed,
and your email address will be given as the password.
In a similar way to how the HTTP Test works, the FTP Test
records three metrics - the DNS lookup time, the connection
time, and the download time. Recording these separately gives
a much better indication of exactly where performance problems
are occurring.
Of course, Nexus Watch performs this test at precisely the
same time via multiple ISPs in order to distinguish server
faults from network faults.
Nexus Watch will perform downloads at intervals set by the
Polling Interval field on the test configuration page.
You may configure error and threshold events to watch out
for, and optionally have Nexus Watch send you an alert if
it sees them.
