Before you start FTP tests, configure the FTP server. For example, configure a username and password that are used to log in to the FTP server. For more information about FTP server configuration, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. Follow these guidelines when you configure FTP tests: • When you execute the put command, the NQA client creates a file named file-name of fixed size on the FTP server. The file-name argument does not represent any file on the NQA client. When you execute the get command, the client does not save the files obtained from the FTP server. • When you get a file that does not exist on the FTP server, FTP tests fail. • Use a small file and set a long NQA probe timeout time. A big file or short probe timeout time may result in probe timeout. To configure FTP tests: Step Command 1. Enter system view. system-view 2. Enter NQA test group view. nqa entry admin-name operation-tag 3. Configure the test type as FTP, and enter test type view. type ftp 4.

When you get a file that does not exist on the FTP server, FTP tests fail.
Use a small file and set a long NQA probe timeout time. A big file or short probe timeout time may
result in probe timeout.
