Capturing FTP logs
Hi Guys,

I am trying to capture the FTP Logs in a log file.

I am using the below code.

Code:
ftp -d -n -v $Remote_Host << EOD > $Ftp_LOG;

Since iam running the script in debug mode, i am able to see that the ftp is done and the file has been transferred.

But the log file does not have any entries..

Can somebody help me with it.

Cheers!!!!

If you are using bash and i guess Ftp_LOG contain a valid filename, you can try

Code:
ftp -d -n -v $Remote_Host << EOD &> $Ftp_LOG;
