Monitoring incoming File Transfer Protocol users
Logging and reviewing File Transfer Protocol (FTP) usage enables you to monitor activity and check for outside attacks.
To monitor for incoming FTP users, follow these steps:
- In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
- In the right pane, right-click FTP and select Server Jobs.
- The FTP server job panel opens. The Current user column displays the user logged in to the server job. If no user is logged in, Qtcp is displayed.
Press F5 or select View > Refresh to update the display.
The format for the names of these jobs is QTFTPnnnnn. The nnnnn is a randomly-generated number.
To start FTP server jobs, follow the steps in Start the FTP server.
