Another way to Check Port 25
(free tool)
Check
the
FTP
port in
regular intervals
If you would like to check your FTP Server at regular
intervals, you can use the command line utility SLCheck.
SLCheck connects to the FTP Server and checks the answer. Batch
files can be executed in dependance of the result, e.g. to send
alarm notifications. Try the following command:
SLCheck
-p 21 -a ftp.domain.com -r "220 ProFTPD"
220 ProFTPD
can be the normal answer from a FTP Server.
All results are logged in a logfile. You can monitor your FTP Server by running SLCheck as a scheduled task, e.g. once a minute.
PingTool is a nice tool if
you need a ping GUI. You can
download this ping tool at
www.ping-tool.com. Use the
free wake on lan tool
