Results

CAUTION:
To install the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor FTP agent in a directory other than the default, make sure the name of the directory does not contain any blanks. The installation will proceed as usual, but IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor will be unable to monitor the WS_FTP server.

If the installation fails, review the installation log to determine the cause. This log is named IBM _Sterling_Control_Center_-_FTP_Agent_version_InstallLog.log and is in the FTP agent installation directory.

The installation program installs the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) required to run the FTP agent.
