Server Status

The Server Status display provides a high-level view of file transfer activity since the server was started.  Overall server statistics are displayed for both FTP and Web File Manager interfaces.  For specific details about active user logins, see the "Active Users" window.  Overall statistics regarding the number of user logins and file transfer statistics are tracked since the server daemon was last started.  Stopping and restarting the server daemon (or performing a complete server restart) will therefore reset these statistics, but quitting the Rumpus control application will not.

Statistics are obtained by periodically polling the Rumpus server daemon.  The overhead involved in refreshing the statistics is low, but the interval is selectable, allowing you to minimize the number of server hits needed to maintain the display.  When you are actively monitoring server usage, set the "Refresh Every" pop-up menu to 1 or 5 seconds, increasing the frequency of the updates.  On the other hand, if the status display is generally left open for occassional monitoring, reduce the load on the server by setting the "Refresh Every" pop-up to 5 minutes or an hour.
