FTP/SFTP Monitoring Frequently Asked Questions

What is FTP and SFTP monitoring, and why is it important?

FTP and SFTP monitoring continuously checks the availability, speed, and integrity of file transfers. It helps businesses detect and resolve issues like failed logins, missing files, and connection timeouts.

How does FTP and SFTP Monitoring work?
