Kinda thought that...the client I'm referring to I don't have control
over, therefore I cannot install BBWin, if I wanted to. I thought there
was a way in Hobbit to test active ports passively w/o any client
software.

Go to Help, Configuring Monitoring, hobbit-clients.cfg. Scroll way down
to the 'PORTS STATUS COLUMN SETTINGS'. But this will only work for Unix/Linux clients, I do not know if BBWin has implemented this.

Okay, I can't seem to find how you implement this. (Typically, I've only modified the bb-hosts file.)

it depends on how confident you want to be. a true active test will
tell
you a real user can log in and do their stuff, while [port] and
[procs]
can only tell you 'probably'.

You can also use the procs test to make sure the ftpd process is
running.

Use the ports test.

Is there a more passive method to test FTP. Apparently on
BulletProof
FTP it's logging each ftp test and creating an extensive log file.
