Tracking FTP activity?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We need to keep log of what files what users are transferring using FTP
server. Is it possible to add to UCX$FTPSERVER.LOG file (or to any other log
file) what commands were executed in this FTP session? If no - is there any
other solution how to monitor
FTP usage?
We are running OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 on Digital Alpha 4000, UCX version 4.1-12,
all users are accessing system from PCs on LAN via TCP/IP.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  There are no logging capabilities integrated into FTP.
 
  Short of using OpenVMS security alarms or security audits on files,
  directories, or disk volumes, or using the username auditing flag on
  the FTP server username, there is no way to do this.
 
  A request for this enhancement has been passed to the TCP/IP Services
  engineering team.
