Date: Thu, 14 Dec 95 19:01:12 GMT Organization: Atlantech Online Inc. Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4aps9m$j7@news.atlantech.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: dialup16.atlantech.net X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3 I know this is a lame question, but ... I can't figure out how to log FTP transfers. Acess is being logged. I read the man pages for ftpd and it lists the options '-i' and '-o' to turn on logging of incoming and outgoing transfers. I tried it. It didn't work. Even after sending HUP to my inetd process. So I look in the man page for 'xferlog'. It says the xferlog file is usually in /var/log, but I can put it anywhere using an option for ftpd. I look back in the man page for ftpd. No such option. There are two mystery options that are not explained '-I' and '-O' (they are only mentioned in the synopsis and don't look like they take a filename option). So I tried creating an empty xferlog file in /var/log and restarting the server, but the transfers still do not get logged. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks, - Randy Moore
