NAME
xferlog - FTP Server transfer log file
SYNOPSIS
/var/log/xferlog
DESCRIPTION
The xferlog file contains transfer logging information from
the FTP Server, in.ftpd(1M). You can use the logfile capa-
bility to change the location of the log file. See ftpac-
cess(4).
By default, each server entry is composed of a single line
of the following form. All fields are separated by spaces.
current-time transfer-time remote-host bytes-transferred \
filename
transfer-type special-action-flag direction access-mode username
service-name authentication-method authenticated-user-id \
completion-status
The xferlog format capability can be used to customize the
transfer log file format used. In addition to those in the
default format, it also supports chroot-filename, file-size,
and restart-offset fields. See ftpaccess(4).
The fields are defined as follows:
current-time The current local time in the form
D M dd hh:mm:ss Y, where:
D Is the day of the week
M Is the month
dd Is the day of the month
hh Is the hour
mm Is the minutes
