Full Discussion: FTP log only shows FTP LOGIN FROM entry?

Yes, the ftp client 'ftp' runs as the user and is not in a good position to log locally for you, but it is logged where the server 'ftpd' receives the client's connection.

You could detect ftp activity with firewall software, but perhaps with less detail unless you find a tool that logs packet innards not just the header stuff. You could even provide ftp as a wrapper that logs and then calls the real ftp. However, sometimes the details are not arguments but in the stdin stream.

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

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.
