Simulate login to SFTP server

Votes:

0

Hi

I need to have a sensor, that is able to determin if a user can login to a SFTP server or not, given a username and password in the configuration, and if it is able to do that, if it can do a directory listing on the server.

How can this be done? .. is it possible to do this using the Sensor factory, and if so, how would it be done?

Thanks :-)

directory login sftp

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm afraid you could then only do this with a Custom Exe Sensor, as the SFTP Sensor implicitly only does a login.

best regards.
