vsftpd log files
In vsftpd we can choose between these two log types:
– log only the file transfer (upload/download) information.
– log all FTP commands and responses. We will need this log when debugging FTP problems.
To log only the file transfer information, use these directives:
xferlog_enable=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
The file transfer information will be logged in xferlog_file (/var/log/xferlog by default).
To log all FTP commands and responses, use these directives:
log_ftp_protocol=YES
xferlog_std_format=NO
A standard vsftpd log file specified in the vsftpd_log_file directive (/var/log/vsftpd.log by default) will be used.
