Hi guys, I am back with yet another issue now retarding ftp transfer check
im getting this: (Service Check Timed Out)
lftp was not installed so i had to install it. i see that check_ftp_fully script is used. it seems that both nagios and check_ftp_fully work fine, since even when i try to connect manually from the nagios box to the ftp server using lftp client it just hangs..

Edit:

output from the lftp command:

Code: Select all

<- 234 AUTH command OK. Initializing SSL connection.
-> CLNT lftp/4.4.2
`ls' at 0 [Logging in...]

it pretty much hangs at this point
ftp server is serv-u 11 on port 21 it uses ftp with explicit ssl/tls

Can you share where you downloaded the plugin from? The link?

it came with the ftp wizard that I downloaded here:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... rd/details
the problem is with lftp client and explicit ssl/tls it seems, nagios waits for lftp and times out waiting for output

As this plugin is designed I don't believe it supports SSL

You could modify the plugin to add something to each of the command lines like this

Code: Select all

${LFTP} -u ${USERNAME},${PASSWORD} -p${PORT} -e "set ftp:ssl-force true,ftp:ssl-protect-data true;LS; QUIT" ${HOSTNAME} &> /dev/null

but I am unsure of the exact commands you would need to use, it would be a bit of trial and error...
