Configuring NQA Tests 1095
Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure the FTP test:
n
■ Transfer a small file for a get operation. If the file is too large, the test may fail
because of time-out.
■ When you perform a get operation, the file obtained from the FTP server will
not be saved on the device, either. If there is no such file-name file on the FTP
server, the FTP test will fail.
■ When you perform a put operation, a file-name file with a fixed size and
contents will be created on the FTP server, but the uploaded file will not be
saved.
