Alerts and Events Automation
Automate file event FTP server actions in Serv-U
Track events for real-time insights into your FTP server
FTP servers can have a huge number of events occurring at any given time. SolarWinds® Serv-U® File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server lets you track events and even automate actions so you can stay on top of everything happening in your FTP server. Network administrators can use these features to monitor and process different events and tasks.
If you don’t want to specify every file event in your FTP server manually, all it takes is a few steps to automatically create a list of the 13 most common events in Serv-U FTP Server. You can then set up automatic actions for those events.
Specify event triggers for automatic actions
Serv-U FTP Server offers custom event handling for each event tracked by the tool. This means, for example, you can decide exactly when an FTP email notification goes out and when it doesn’t. You can also add filters to events if you only want your action to be triggered when the event occurs AND when those filters are met—not every time the event occurs on its own. Serv-U offers a variety of different variables to choose from, giving you more control over the FTP server email alert process. Serv-U also allows you to automate command actions so a command will automatically be executed on a file as soon as a specified event occurs, which can help increase security.
Get automatic event alerts, including an FTP server email notification
An FTP server email notification can be incredibly valuable when it comes to knowing what’s happening on your server, whether it’s the addition of a new user or attempted access from a blocked IP address. This is why Serv-U makes it easy to set up an automated FTP email notification whenever a configured event gets triggered, such as an automatic download from FTP server files. All you have to do is specify who the email will be sent to, and Serv-U will take care of the rest. You can even include a short message for the body of the email so the recipient knows what the FTP server email alert is about.
Maintain security with automatic FTP server email alerts
Transferring files electronically has become a centerpiece of modern work. Though this has many advantages, it also means a lot of sensitive information is traveling across the internet, and there’s a possibility bad actors can access it.
Serv-U is designed to make file transfers more secure. A big part of this is delivering an FTP server with built-in email notifications, meaning administrators are alerted as soon as someone questionable attempts to access the server or any sensitive information it contains.
