Starting a TCP Protocol FTP test

Starting a TCP Protocol FTP test

This FortiTester test establishes a TCP connection (three-way handshake), transfers one file by FTP, and then closes the TCP.

To start an FTP test:
  1. Go to Cases > Performance Testing > Protocol > TCP > FTP to display the test case summary page.
  2. Click + Create New to display the Select case options dialog box.
  3. In the popup dialog, for the Network Config option, select the network template you have created in Cases > Security Testing > Objects > Networks. Then the network related options will automatically be filled. See Using network configuration templates for how to create a network template.
  4. Select a Certificate Group if applicable.
  5. Click OK to continue.
  6. Configure the test case options described below.
  7. Click Start to run the test case.

FortiTester saves the configuration automatically so you can run the test again later. You can also click Save to save the test case without running it.

Tip 1: You can also copy an existing case, and change its settings to create a new case. In the case list, click Clone to clone the configuration. Only the case name is different from the original case.

Tip 2: You can add or edit a comment when the test is running. This comment can be used to search for the test result in the Results page. This is useful especially when the test runs for a long time.
