Upload a file to an FTP server over a SIM
Upload a file of a chosen size to an FTP server over the SIM's data connection and measure uplink throughput.
Uplink throughput is the speed from the SIM to the server. Kapptivate generates a file of the size you set and sends it to your FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. Pair it with FTP Download to measure both directions against the same server.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Upload link | Yes | FTP URL to upload to. |
| File size | Yes | Size of the generated payload, in bytes. |
| FTP credentials | No | Login for the FTP server. |
| Upload 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, dns_server, and duration in seconds.
In Analytics, each run feeds the FTP upload measurement with throughput_kbps and duration_seconds, tagged by status, URL, APN, antenna, and access technology.
