Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to monitor the number of files on an FTP server that have a specific extension, i.e. count the number of *.TXT files?

Many thanks Callum

Hi Callum,

Unfortunately, the integrated FTP Server File Count Sensor does not have a filter option like this.

You probably need to write a PowerShell script (something like this) and use it with our EXE/Script (Advanced) Sensors. Unfortunately, we cannot assist with this as it's rather time consuming.

Kind regards,
