I have a CentOS server that I would like to be able to track more FTP information, to know the IP/Geolocation/Files Edited, for the last 20 connections. We have cpanel running, also. What can I do to enable advanced FTP logging?

  • Do you already have an ftp daemon running? Which one?

You would be probably running pure-ftpd (default for cPanel). In this case, you can enable verbose logging for FTP by setting "VerboseLog yes" in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf . There is also the "AltLog" directive, which you may need to uncomment and enable. There are 3 formats supported, which are xferlog, stats & w3c of which you can choose a suitable on.

  • Where do the logs end up?

  • You define the log path in "AltLog" directive itself along with the preferred format.
