viewing ftp client logs

Hi All

Is there any linux log file that captures invalid ftp login attempts in client side? I'm trying to come up with a script that will send an email to owners stating the number of invalid password login attempt when logging in to the ftp server.

its like,

1. i'm in client side...then I ftp to 192.xxx.xxx.xxx IP
login: ftp_root
password: XXXXXX
-Invalid password

login: ftp_root
password: XXXXXX
-Invalid password

login: ftp_root
password: XXXXXX
-Correct password
#

***PS, what I want to capture is the number of login attempts by ftp_root

anyone got any idea where to check this? vsftpd.log doesn't show these. Anyone? Smilie

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and are ignored. Behavior Directives The ftp file supports the following behavior directives: FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default. If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is specified in /etc/default/ftp. ATTRIBUTES
