Because not all FTP servers are accessable through http, a real FTP probe is necessary to check these FTP servers.
Checks to perform are:
- is the ftp server alive
- can I login with the given user
- is a given directory available
- is a given file in a given directory available
For our use case it is important to know whether an external FTP server is still alive and kicking and the directory where we download data from is available.
