FTP Log Files

The FTP Logging Options panel in the WebSTAR Admin application includes a section for controlling the basic logging functionality.

Logging Options

 

Logging On and Off

When you click the Logging "Off" radio button, and press the Save button, the log file will no longer be updated. You must select the Logging On radio button and press Save to start logging again.

The default is Logging On .

Log File Name

The default file name is :logs:WebSTAR FTP.log , specifying that the log file will be named WebSTAR FTP.log and will be located in a logs folder in the WebSTAR root folder. A record of all FTP transactions is maintained in this file. If the file does not exist, the WebSTAR FTP server will create it.

The Choose button allows you to select a file on the server and append all future log information to that file. You cannot create a new log file this way, but you can select any file on your server as a log file, so be careful that you do not start appending log information to HTML or other files.

Log Archiving

Log Archiving allows you to save separate log files covering specified periods of time, such as every day, every week on Thursday, or monthly. The log files are automatically created at the time you set, filled, and then closed when the next one is created.

For instructions, see Log Archiving .
