FTP monitor

The default FTP verifies the server by attempting to download a specific file. Instead of this, can it be configured to upload a specific file?

Hi Daniel,

 

 

The default FTP monitor only supports GETs. You could write a shell script which PUTs a file to the FTP server if you need this functionality. Here's a template:

If you think this type of functionality would make a good addition to the product, you could open a case with F5 Support to make a request for enhancement.
