Download a file from an FTP server over a SIM
Download a file from an FTP server over the SIM's data connection and measure download throughput.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the classic protocol for moving files to and from a server. Use this action when your benchmark infrastructure is FTP-based, or to compare protocols on the same network.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Download link | Yes | FTP URL of the file. |
| Download size limit | No | Stop after this many bytes. |
| FTP credentials | No | Login for the FTP server. |
| Download should fail | No | Invert the verdict. |
Plus the shared connection settings and DNS override (command.override_dns, command.dns).
Results and metrics
In the action report (result): throughput_in_kbps, md5sum (file integrity), dns_server, and duration in seconds.
In Analytics, each run feeds the FTP download measurement with throughput_kbps and duration_seconds, tagged by status, URL, APN, antenna, and access technology.
