vsftp log files. 1

[Zyxian]

Hello.
I've googled and searched both vsftp and wu-ftp home pages and can't find the answer.
I'm useing vsftp and have xferlog_std_format set to yes. When I look at the log files I can tell what the obvious ones are, i.e. the ip address or who logged in, but the rest are a mystery.
Where can I find an explanation of all of the fields?
Thank you.

Might help if you posted a sample of the output.

You could also read the vsftpd.conf man page to see all the log related options; there is one, "xferlog_std_format", which allows you to change the log format, possibly to a form that you will recognise more easily.

I'll give the other format a try but here is a sample:

Tue Feb 7 16:55:28 2006 1 24.4.102.86 10521 /requestedfile.html [highlight]a _ i r[/highlight] username ftp [highlight]0 * c[/highlight]
Tue Feb 7 17:45:16 2006 1 24.4.102.86 930 /requestedfile.html [highlight]a _ i r[/highlight] username ftp [highlight]0 * c[/highlight]
Thu Feb 9 12:39:39 2006 4 71.108.153.33 44 /ftp/banner.msg [highlight]b _ o r[/highlight] zyxian ftp [highlight]0 * c[/highlight]

The parts I've highlighted are the ones I can not find the meaning for.
The man page for vsftpd.conf does not explain them. It only tells what the options are.

Thanks

Beats me, they sure are cryptic, and there's no information that I can find in the docs.

Thank you. Just what I was looking for.
I don't seem to have the man page for xferlog installed.
