Logging feature ... still random behaviour

Post by mimcris »

Hi to all gurus!
I've read many posts about logging issues and after the announcement that the build 231 should solve them I've downloaded and installed it, but the issues remain.

1) to have correct filenames like this 20080208.log you must eliminate the last % symbol before the dot and file suffix as hthis logs\%Y%m%d.log ... in fact each placeholder is %Y or %m or %d
%. means NULL that's why if you write logs\%Y%m%d%.log you get this result 20080208log without the dot.

2) I'm still unable to log all kind of operations (copy, delete, wrong password, etc.) either I flag ALL INFORMATION or I flag all checkboxes individually.

3) Sometime the logfile file is written in real time, sometime it's written after stopping and restarting the server, some time NEVER. I never see the upload/download/disconnection actions/times even with all checkbixes flagged.

4) how you setup a logfile different per each user accessing the server?

5) is there a list of placeholder in the logging option templates? I'm asking if I can use other symbols beyond these %Y %m%d% e.g. %u for the user or something like this?

The PC runs only CoreFtpServer and only receives 2-3 files a day (10 Kb). It's a Compaq with Celeron 1,3Ghz, 512 Mb RAM, 20 Gb HD with Windows 2000 5.00.2195 S/P 4.

Thanks anyway for the beautiful program.

I need to log all possible actions when a user connects to CoreFTP Server; I've tried all settings, but without success.

In the Logging Options forms I've flagged all checkboxes and the log file is set to daily with this template logs\%Y%m%d.log

The most I get are only two lines ...

[20080324 05:00:40] [193.254.30.34] connecting
[20080324 05:00:40] [193.254.30.34] connected

Is there anyone getting more info, e.g. Commands issued and responses, Uploads and Downloads executed, Login errors, etc. ???

Thanks in advance for your replies.
