Pensador's Server Status Monitor

The Server Status Monitor is a PHP script hosted by Pensador's Blog. It shows whether an FTP server (or any other server) is online by pinging its IP address.
Unfortunately my web host has blocked all ports except for port 21. This means that the SSM will only work if your server is listening to that port. For more information, please refer to this post.

Server information Example: ftp.server.com or 192.168.0.1

Hi everyone,

As some of you know, I've been looking for bugs in my code for a couple of days now and guess what? It turns out that my web host blocked outgoing connections to non-standard ports, meaning that the Status Server Monitor will only work with port 21. I have submitted a support ticket.

Thanks for understanding and please spread the word to other users.

Best regards,
Pensador

I was told that HostingIt365's webserver was hit by a DoS attack and their DNS file got corrupted. I had to change servers twice in the past week; depending on your location, pensador.org could be pointing to three different copies of this website. I will wait until the DNS records get replicated worldwide and then I will try to synchronize the data between them.

The Server Status Monitor form is now generating more friendly URLs. I played around with the Apache Module mod_rewrite using the RewriteRule directive and I made it so instead of having

http://pensador.org/ftp/?a=192.168.0.1&p=21&i=1
it will work now with
http://pensador.org/ftp/192.168.0.1/21/1/status.gif
which is much more friendly to users as well as to message board scripts.
