Watching FTP activity
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to accomplish two things:
1. Watch FTP activity
2. Review FTP logs
I know there have been some discussions about FTP logging before, so what I really want to focus on is 1. Watching.
According to the pure-ftpd website:
...to watch who’s doing what, the pure-ftpwho command shows a table with currently active sessions, how much bandwidth is taken by every user, what files they are uploading or downloading, where they are coming from, etc.
According to the README:
Since 0.97.7, you can type 'pure-ftpwho' at any time to watch current active
sessions.
When I type pure-ftpwho, I get:
-sh: pure-ftpwho: not found
Also in the README:
If typing 'pure-ftpwho' answers 'Command not found', you have to add
/usr/local/sbin in your PATH environment variable.
How do I do accomplish this?

-O format:log file
Record all file transfers into a specific log file, in an alternative format. Currently, three formats are supported : CLF, Stats, W3C and xferlog.
If you add
-O clf:/var/log/pureftpd.log
to your starting options, Pure-FTPd will log transfers in /var/log/pureftpd.log in a format similar to the Apache web server in default configuration.
If you add
-O stats:/var/log/pureftpd.log
to your starting options, Pure-FTPd will create accurate log files designed for traffic analys software like ftpStats.
If you add
-O w3c:/var/log/pureftpd.log
to your starting options, Pure-FTPd will create W3C-conformant log files.
For security purposes, the path must be absolute (eg. /var/log/pureftpd.log, not ../log/pureftpd.log).

Re: Watching FTP activity
bjby,
That will help with #2, so thank you.
As I said in my original post:
what I really want to focus on is 1. Watching
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Thanks.
