Configuring the FTP template
A feature that uses the FTP template performs the FTP operation. The operation measures the time it takes the NQA client to transfer a file to or download a file from an FTP server.
Configure the username and password for the FTP client to log in to the FTP server before you perform an FTP operation. For information about configuring the FTP server, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
