*** my first email seems to have been truncated ****** This is the batch file I use to check that anonymous logins are working on our FTP server. You could change it so it logs in as a specific user or uploads/downloads a file.
The "ftp_check.bat" attached is the batch file. It uses the windows command line ftp program to auto login to the server and record the output to a log file. We then use the "find" command to parse the log file and look for the expected output. You will need to edit this file to check for the correct return text from a login to your FTP server. The "ftp_login.txt" file is the ftp script used by the batch file. It contains the hostname of the ftp server, the account/password of the user to login as. Setup an "External (errorlevel)" check to run the batch script and detect a DOWN if the result "is > than 0" Trevor ############# BEGIN: ftp_check.bat ###################### :: Auto login FTP script :: Used to test if the FTP server is allowing logins :: Turn off echo output @echo off :: Make sure we are in the correct directory c: cd c:\scripts :: Delete the old log files from previous runs del error.log del quiet_output.txt :: Run the command line ftp program :: Use the login text file as input :: Record all output including errors to the error.log file ftp -n -s:ftplogin.txt > error.log 2>&1 :: Look for the required string in the error.log :: Redirect the find command output so we don't see it find "Anonymous access granted" error.log > quiet_output.txt :: Grab the errorlevel from the find command and ouput it :: so sysmon will see it set ERRORLEV=%errorlevel% echo %ERRORLEV% exit %ERRORLEV% ############# END: ftp_check.bat ###################### ############# BEGIN: ftp_login.txt ###################### open servername.example.com user anonymous [EMAIL PROTECTED] quit ############# END: ftp_login.txt ###################### Ahmed Hassan wrote: > Thanks for the quick howto. > Is there a way to get SA to login to the ftp server?

Doing so will cause you to be automatically removed from the list.
