Adding Default FTP Request Properties

Adding Default FTP Request Properties

Adding Default FTP Request Properties- Now that we have defined our users, it is time to define the tasks that they will be performing. In this section, you will specify the default settings for your FTP requests. And then, in section 8.3, you will add FTP Request elements that use some of the default settings you specified here.

Begin by selecting the FTP Users element. Click your right mouse button to get the Add menu, and then select Add –> Config Element –> FTP Request Defaults. Then, select this new element to view its Control Panel.

Like most JMeter elements, the FTP Request Defaults Control Panel has a name field that you can modify. In this example, leave this field with the default value.

Skip to the next field, which is the FTP Server’s Server Name/IP. For the Test Plan that you are building, all FTP requests will be sent to the same FTP server, ftp.domain.com in this case. Enter this domain name into the field. This is the only field that we will specify a default, so leave the remaining fields with their default values.

The FTP Request Defaults element does not tell JMeter to send an FTP request. It simply defines the default values that the FTP Request elements use.
