FTPSTATS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       FTPSTATS(8)

NAME

       ftpstats - FTP Log summarizer

SYNOPSIS

       ftpstats [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Ftpstats  dissects  the defined ftp log and reports various statistics as requested.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

OPTIONS

       -f filename
	      Use filename rather than the default /var/log/xferlog

       -r     Include real users.

       -a     Include anonymous users.

       -h     Include report on hourly traffic.

       -d     Include report on domain traffic.

       -t     Report on total traffic by section.

       -i     Report on incoming traffic only (uploads).

       -o     Report on outgoing traffic only (downloads).

       -Ddomain
	      Report only on traffic from domain This option leads to problems with the local domain:  e.g. test.com is encountered under test and
	      not recognized under com, -D com will give you only stats about com excluding test.com!  Use -A com for correct results.

       -Aaddress
	      Report  only  on	traffic  from  addresses  whose  end  matches  address	e.g. -A test.domain.com will report on address ending with
	      test.domain.com

       -ldepth
	      Depth of path detail for sections

       -ssection
	      Section to report on.  e.g. -s /pub will report only on paths under /pub
