Hello.

Can I create a custom sensor to verify and download new files from a FTP Server? The idea is the sensor checks if there are new files on FTP Server. If yes, it downloads the files.

How do I do it?

Thanks.

Dear lucasrr84,

in PRTG you can use custom scripts, as long as those communicate only with the console (meaning they cannot use a GUI context.) The interface for communication with PRTG is described here.

Dear lucasrr84,

PRTG comes with Python 2.7 and the according sensor, but you can of course also use a script (Bat or Powershell) which runs another Python installation in case you want to use special libraries.
