JMeter Beginner Tutorial 19 - How to parameterize FTP test

[@umamaheswari1108]

Hi Raghav, when we use the same filename in the FTP get sampler, wont the actual file being downloaded from the server be duplicated? This behaviour is evident in FTP put. Kindly clarify.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Uma, yes if you are referring the same file, it will get/put the same file

Hi @raghav, Why did the 2nd and 3rd iteration of loop get passed. 2nd and 3rd iteration should also get failed since we have those 3 files created already like we saw in 1st iteration of the loop. Please explain. Thanks in advance.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Saurabh, it can depend on the server settings. I am using a sample so may be its allowing duplicate upload on ftp

[@saurabhtriyal10]

@@RaghavPal what about the file extension, you did not provide any extension in csv so which extension will the files get stored on server

[@RaghavPal]

It will get stored as you send, If no ext it will go as it is. Sometimes on the system hide ext is enabled. In that case it will go as per its format

Hi Raghav, your videos are very much detailed and informative,I had one quick question how do I change rwx permissions for FTP request on jmeter or is there any other way out?I faced this issue while testing and access was denied coz of permissions how should I overcome this case..how it works in real time..Plz help

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Shilpa, so real time, your user should have the permission to do FTP and this can be taken care by qa admin or dev teams

Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal thank u so much

[@sagarmalhotra351]

hi Raghav why can't we use function of time so that every file will have different name

[@RaghavPal]

hi Sagar, yes you can explore and test that. There are numerous ways to achieve it.

Hi Raghav when I am going to run my previous Jmeter script of FTP upload and download always getting failed FTP PUT request with the response code 550 "Failed to open file".Please help to resolve it.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi , pls check your parameters, also check if you get detailed logs.

Hi Raghav, For me parameterizing local file path through CSV data is not working

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ivan, what is the issue, do you have logs

[@rakhirahman4069]

Why do we need to upload the same file with a different name? how could we upload diff file with the parameter? Thank you for Excellent video.My sincere gratitude .

[@RaghavPal]

File with same name may not be accepted by ftp server.
