Passive FTP 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.

TIA,

Use the ports test.

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

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'.

Okay, I can't seem to find how you implement this.  (Typically, I've

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.

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.

It looks like the makefile needs the full path to ar, or ar needs to be 
in your $PATH. Try adding /usr/ccs/bin to your $PATH.
