Monitoring Active FTP Sessions
When connected to the FTP server from a remote system (or from the host on which it is installed), you can use the WS_FTP Server Manager to view and monitor active connections to the FTP server.
- In the left pane, select Local Host. The Local Host properties list appears in the right pane.
- Click Session Manager. The Session Manager window appears.
Server Statistics
The Session Manager window reports the following WS_FTP Server statistics. Connection and File statistics represent the count since the server was last started, or since the counter was reset.
Connection statistics: Current number of connections, Maximum number of concurrent connections, Total number of connections.
File statistics: the number of files Transmitted (downloaded), Received (uploaded), and Deleted
Transmits in progress: The number of downloads in progress.
Receives in progress: The number of uploads in progress.
Click Reset to zero the counters within the WS_FTP Server. Note that these are the same values you can view and chart in the Windows NT Performance Manager (for more information, see "Monitoring FTP Server Statistics").
Active Sessions
The Session Manager window shows all active connections from an FTP client (FTP sessions) or from a WS_FTP Server Manager to the FTP server. For each connection, the Session Manager shows:
Address. The IP address of the FTP client or remote WS_FTP Server Manager.
Host. The FTP host to which the client is connected. If there is only one FTP host on the WS_FTP Server, this column does not appear.
User. The User ID used to connect to the host.
Directory. The last directory accessed during this session.
Last Command. The last FTP command issued by the client or Server Manager.
Idle. The number of seconds the session has not received a command or data from the client and has not sent a response or data to the client for the reported number of seconds. You can control the amount of idle time allowed for a session by setting a Timeout value in the host's properties.
TA (Transfer Active). Indicates that a data channel is active for a session. If it shows a value of 1, the RETR or STOR command is currently active, which means data is being transferred (retrieved or stored). If it shows a value of 0, the data channel is inactive.
To update the list of active connections, click Refresh.
To end a session, select the session's Address and click Kill. The listing automatically refreshes, but may take a few seconds.
