Lies indeed

Works great, sentinel! Thanks a lot. Sorry it took so long but I've been busy. As for why I couldn't access (FTP version of script) from the phone I have no idea but I could access it fine from a computer.

Ok, so I tried it the way sentinel suggested. It's working fine except for one thing. I can get it uploaded to my FTP server but I can't access it from the phone. And I decided that including the process list wasn't necessary. My main concern is whether or not the servers are up. Something that just says: Server1 is up or Server1 is down. Nice and simple. Anyone else have any suggestions? I really appreciate all the help so far. EDIT: I would also like another way of uploading because the way its being done right now means my username and password for the FTP server is in readable format.

Wow, that's exactly what I'm looking for sentinel. I'll try it when I get home and find some time. I'll post back after I've tried it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really liked what Nagios can do but I don't want to have to setup an linux box just to do this. I think I'll try the txt file thing. Any other suggestions would be great.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question so if it doesn't belong here move it. This is what I want to accomplish: Network with domain consisting of Win2k, XP, and 2003 servers. I want to have a way to monitor all the servers (30+) with my cell phone. Preferably, I want to have "reports" automatically generated to be in html format so I can use my phone's web browser to view it. What I want the "reports" to contain: Name or IP of server (both would be best) and its status (online, offline, etc.). And a short list of the processes running on it. I want to accomplish this using free software or batch scripts. (I kind of want to learn how to write batch scripts :D ) So what would be the best way to do this? Second thing I want to accomplish: Network without domain consisting of WinXP and 2003 servers/workstations (10 to 20). Same as above but on a network without domain. Oh and yes, I want it in HTML format. Nothing else. And by the way, I don't really know how to program. I took an intro class to VB .Net and thats it. So the easiest way to do this would be best. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I did forget to mention that I wanted a Windows based server. Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to stay with FileZilla. I like the admin interface.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to decide between Filezilla FTP server and Cerberus FTP server.

Can you recommend a good easy to setup/configure FTP server? I don't need anything heavy duty, just something nice and simple. I'm currently using Serv-U.
