Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to monitor the number of files on an FTP server that have a specific extension, i.e. count the number of *.TXT files?
Many thanks Callum

Hi Callum,
Unfortunately, the integrated FTP Server File Count Sensor does not have a filter option like this.
You probably need to write a PowerShell script (something like this) and use it with our EXE/Script (Advanced) Sensors. Unfortunately, we cannot assist with this as it's rather time consuming.
Kind regards,
