Wake up before your competition do!

Some inspiration from 5AM group on Facebook

You might not have a competitive advantage over your competition and maybe you don't have all the tools and resources to play with the big boys in your industry.

~

But one thing you do have is the ability to out work your competition!

~

You don't need to come up with anymore excuses about why you aren't where you want to be, what you need to do is get up earlier, show up and show the world you're not here to make up the numbers and be another statistic!

~

If you're not prepared to out work your competition and wake up before 5am every single day then maybe it's time to ask yourself how serious you are about your goals and dreams!

~

Stop doing normal things and stop performing at average levels because that is exactly why you aren't where you want to be...

~

Be unusual, be abnormal, be obsessed, be prepared to wake up at 4:00am and work harder than anyone you've ever met because that is the only way you're ever going to become exceptional, renowned, world class and successful.

~

You've tried normal and you know where that gets you so now it's time to try crazy, obsessive, intense and exceptional and once you commit to that path....your life will never be the same again!

https://github.com/linkeshkanna/Jmeter.SSH.FTP.Request

Jmeter Custom Sampler to make SFTP Request

To Create SSH FTP Requests in JMeter, we need this custom Sampler. This contains two jar files. 1. jmeter-ssh-sampler-1.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar 2. jsch-0.1.53.jar We can generate this by downloading the source and building it using Maven.

I just built it using maven and checked in the jar files here.

To install this in Jmeter, 1. Copy the jmeter-ssh-sampler-1.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar to the "Jmeter/Lib/ext" directory. 2. Copy the "jsch-0.1.53.jar" to the "Jmeter/Lib" directory 3. Restart Jmeter.

I have also added a sample test to list of the directory contents in a Public SFTP Server.
