I have set ftp server with multiline greetings and reproduced the problem - the fix was checked in to development repository, you can get it here:

Thanks for report,

Hello,

please can you provide output of ftp session beginning?

It is sufficient to use for example wireshark to catch the data or telnet to mimic the session:

1.) telnet 10.201.56.42 21 (monit expects "220 ...")
2.) type: "quit" (monit expects "221 ...")

and copy the output.

I think the error could be caused by multiline greeting, we can fix it if it will be the case.


Thanks,
Martin

I want to monitor whether I can reach a FTP server on a remote host.

So I have added the following

check host QTCP with address 10.201.56.42
      if failed port 21 protocol ftp for 1 cycles then alert
alert address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden> with mail-format {
         subject: FTP Unreachable from  Server
      } with reminder on 30 cycles

But in the syslog I get

Jul 27 15:45:58 mdsg monit[3132]: FTP error: 220 Connection will close if idle more than 10 minutes. Jul 27 15:45:58 mdsg monit[3132]: 'QTCP' failed protocol test [FTP] at INET[10.201.56.42:21 <http://10.201.56.42:21>] via TCP

and monit sets the alert.

My understanding is that internally monit should see the 220 message as a good thing, but it seems to see it
as a failure.
Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
   John
