Good afternoon.
I have a virtual server on Amazon, which runs ftp service, how can I do tests on the files that are received in the ftp server?

Thanks alot.

URL test supports FTP protocol.
Question is what exactly means "tests"? Do you need to check for some specific file name (this can be tested) or you need to know number of the files or something else?

Hi Alex.

Thes tests I need to perform to files are Folfer/File Availability and File Integrity, the file name is random so the translate macro feature must be active, all of this on a virtual server hosted in amazon.

I had tried to map the ftp folder as a network folder but I can not guarantee that this folder could be sincronized all the time, it seems to work properly a few hours and then it fails.

Thanks.

You need to check "newest" file but you don't know name of the file?
Then URL test will not help. You need to share network drive...
Or probably you can install RMA (Remote Monitoring Agent) on FTP server?
