I have some software running on a server - if I hit publush on the above server, it FTPs a file to another server.

The problem I have is that if the FTP fails, I have no way to detect it.

Is there a solution that will alert me that the FTP has faileds?
 
Hi mate,

You need to supply some more data, in fact, you need to supply a lot more data.

What language are you using?
What do you mean by when the FTP fails?
What type of server?
What OS?
Who is going to use this app?

Supply this data and if we can't help you, then at least we can direct you to another forum that may be able to help you in your quest.

Hope this helps Wullie

Thank you fot your post.

The OS is Win2K

HTTP server : IIS or apache

The app is for myself. I am running a data mining algorithm on large data sets on SQL Server. The results received are converted to HTML flat files, which I would like to push to multiple HTTP servers that have IIS or apache on.

The challenge I have is that although my app says it has pushed the results - I have no way of determining that it actually happens unless I type in the URL. I was wondering if there was a more effective manner. Thanks.
 
Use an FTP program like Ws_FTP to verify the files went where they were supposed to, would be one way.
 
The program I have is meant to be automated - i.e. after running the data mining algorithms the results are parsed to a html file and then automatically pushed to a HTTP server.

At the moment I added a FTP program that handles the requests and pushes the HTML files to the HTTP Server.

The problem is that it does not alert the main program server if the FTP requests fails or hangs. It exists on the transaction log if I go in a phisically look.

But there must be a bettr way to automate this - i.e. can I receive an e-mail if the FTP send fails?
