FTP Sessions Workspace

The FTP Sessions workspace displays all FTP sessions that were completed or became active within the display interval. Sessions are displayed at login time. Active sessions that were established prior to the display interval are not included in the FTP Client Session Count, FTP Server Session Count, or FTP Session Summary Table views.

The sessions displayed 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.

The FTP Sessions Workspace is displayed by right-clicking the FTP Navigator item and selecting the FTP Sessions Workspace.

The FTP Sessions Workspace displays the following views:

Each row of the FTP Sessions Summary Table provides links to the alternate workspaces. Alternate workspaces are also displayed from the FTP option on the Navigator. These workspaces are as follows:

FTP Sessions Summary Table

The FTP Sessions Summary Table displays data about the FTP sessions that were started or ended during the display interval. The default value for the time interval is two hours. To change this default value, contact your system administrator.

Each row of the FTP Sessions Summary Table provides a link to the FTP Transfers workspace and the TCP Connections workspace. The FTP Transfers workspace is the default for the link.

The FTP Transfers Workspace displays only the FTP transfers associated with the selected FTP session. Links for sessions with FTP clients display all of the transfer records for the selected FTP client. Links for sessions with FTP servers display all of the transfer records for the selected FTP server.

The TCP Connections Workspace displays only the TCP connection associated with the selected FTP session. If the FTP Session is closed, the TCP Connection Workspace will show no results, since the connection is no longer active. By clicking the Time Span button in the TCP Connections Summary view of the TCP Connections Workspace, you may be able to view historical data for the connection.

Note: To limit the amount of information displayed, this workspace has a filter defined to the table query. The filter is: DURATION > 1 minute for closed sessions. This filter restricts the number of rows retrieved.
