You can enable and configure FTP audit logging.
- Navigate to Support > Logs > FTP Audit Logs.
-
Locate the EVS to enable and configure FTP audit logging, and then click
Edit.
- Set the Audit Logging toggle to Enabled.
- Select a file system to store the audit log files.
- Specify the maximum number of records per log file. When
this limit is reached, a new log file is created. By default, each log
file contains up to 10000 records.
FTP events are logged in a text file, where each event is represented by a tab-delimited line. Each line includes the date, time, username, client IP address, and command description.
- Specify the maximum number of log files. When the number of
log files reaches its limit, the oldest log file is automatically
deleted to create space for new ones. By default, the file system
maintains up to 10 log files.
The most recent file is named ftp.log, while older files follow the naming convention ftp<n>.log, with n increasing as additional files are created.
- Enter the directory path within the selected file system.
- Select the Create path if it does not
exist option to automatically create the directory
.Note:
Automatically created directories are owned by the root user and group (UID:0 / GID:0) and have full permissions (read, write, and execute). You can create these directories using the SMB or NFS protocols, or explicitly grant the appropriate permissions after creation using this option.
- Click Save.
