Monitoring incoming File Transfer Protocol users

By logging and reviewing File Transfer Protocol (FTP) usage, you can monitor activity and check for outside attacks.

To monitor for incoming FTP users, follow these steps:
  1. In System i® Navigator, expand your server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. In the right pane, right-click FTP and select Server Jobs.
  3. The FTP server job panel opens. The Current user column displays the user that is logged on to the server job. If no user is logged on, Qtcp is displayed. Press F5 or select View > Refresh to update the display.

The format for the names of these jobs is QTFTPnnnnn. The nnnnn is a randomly-generated number.
