FTP Monitor

The FTP Monitor checks whether your FTP service is reachable and responsive. This helps detect outages on file transfer infrastructure used by legacy integrations, batch exports, or partner uploads.

How it works

• We connect to your FTP endpoint and verify that the service responds.
• If the server cannot be reached or does not respond within the configured timeout, the check fails.

Configuration

Basic settings

• Hostname: Hostname only, without protocol or path.
• Port: Optional (default is typically 21).
• Check interval and Timeout.
• Status: active, maintenance, disabled.

Advanced settings

If your server requires authentication or encryption (e.g. FTPS), advanced options can be configured via the monitor settings.

Monitoring locations

FTP checks run from our monitoring locations. Monitor-level Allowed Check Countries (or customer-level defaults) control which locations are used.
