Active FTP Sessions Workspace

The Active FTP Sessions workspace displays all active FTP sessions (independent of when the session was opened). These sessions can be from a remote FTP client to a z/OS(R) FTP server, or from a z/OS FTP client to a remote FTP server. FTP control connections for sessions are uniquely defined by a combination of a local IP address and port number and a remote IP address and port number.

This workspace is displayed by right-clicking the FTP navigator item and choosing Active FTP Sessions from the Workspace List.

The Active FTP Session workspace provides the following views:

Active FTP Sessions Summary Table

Each row in the FTP Sessions Summary Table contains a link to the transfer records associated with that particular FTP session. Links for sessions with FTP clients display all of the active transfer records for the selected FTP client. Links for sessions with FTP servers display all of the transfer records for the selected FTP server.

Note:
You can click the Time Span button to display completed records in the time period selected. By default, rows that were active at the time of historical collection are not displayed by the workspace in a history query unless you change the filters.

Each row of the Active FTP Sessions table view provides links to the following workspaces:

The Active FTP Transfers workspace displays only the FTP transfers associated with the selected FTP session.

Links for sessions with FTP clients display all of the active transfer records for the selected FTP client. Links for sessions with FTP servers display all of the transfer records for the selected FTP server. These workspaces display only the FTP transfer or the TCP connection associated with the selected FTP session.

For a complete list of the attributes available in the FTP Sessions Summary Table, and a brief description of each, see the FTP Sessions Attributes help panel.

Note: Historical collection cannot retrieve records with the Active attribute (column) set to Active.
