Pandora_Agent won’t transfer files through FTP
Hi,
I’m using Pandora FMS for about a year now and I’ve always made use of FTP for the XML transfer between the agents and the server.
It all worked flawlessly and it is still working today. But recently I was adding these new agents just like I always did but they are unable to transfer the XML properly.
Troubleshooting this case, I was able to see that the FTP is called using the following command:
sh -c ftp -n http://ftp.example.com 21 2>&1 >/dev/null <
