The FTP Performance Expert is structured to allow you to view both global and detailed views of FTP activity. FTP is the Internet standard for file transfer and is one of the most frequently used functions of TCP/IP. You may not know if you have problems with FTP in your network. FTP jobs may be failing at night, users may be resubmitting multiple jobs, or submitting jobs which conflict with other usage. You may want to find users who are submitting excessively long jobs or who submit jobs that always fail for some reason. The FTP Performance Expert Reports allow you to find answers to these and many other questions.
The FTP Performance Expert is a historical reporting function designed to allow global network views as well as detailed views of FTP activity. The FTP Expert Reports provide three categories of reporting:
