Monitoring active sessions
You can use the session to view and monitor active connections to the server.
To view active sessions:
- From the top menu, select Server > Session Manager. The Session Manager page opens.
- All active sessions are listed in the Sessions section of the page. Note: Session Manager will not display connections for users logged in as "admin" because "admin" is a special user.
For each session, the following information is listed:
- Client Address. This column shows the IP address of the client.
- Host. This column shows the host to which the client is connected.
- User. This column shows the user name that the client used during authentication.
- Directory. This column shows the name of the folder where the client is currently active.
- Last Command. This column shows the last command issued by the client.
- KB Sent. This column shows the number of kilobytes sent from the server to the client during the current session.
- KB Received. This column shows the number of kilobytes the server received from the client during the current session.
- Idle Time. This column indicates the amount of time that has elapsed since the client issued the last command.
- Transfer Active. This column indicates whether or not the client is currently transferring a file.
- Listener Type. This column indicates the type of listener, FTP or SSH, to which the client is connected.
