Full Discussion: FTP log only shows FTP LOGIN FROM entry?
Operating Systems Solaris FTP log only shows FTP LOGIN FROM entry? Post 302744427 by DGPickett on Friday 14th of December 2012 10:10:08 AM

The client app is not associated with any server, it is just a bit of code that can connect a tcp/ip socket on a random high port to the ftp port of some server socket bound tothe ftp command port somewhere and talk the ftp protocol on that, including supporting the session with either passive out or traditional incoming secondary, data connections. FTP has been written in many languages and many sorts of apps and APIs. If you can socket, you can FTP. Asking the server about the clients is like asking a free hotspot owner about all the transactions done on the router. Now, a firewall or other packet snooper might record some level of detail, but not much about https. It feels like a mainframe mindset, that there is only one client facility that logs everything centrally, but no, there are many users, processes, sockets, protocols, applications.

DESCRIPTION

       gFTP  is  a file transfer client for *NIX based machines. It currently has a text interface and a GTK+ 1.2/2.x graphical interface. It cur-
       rently supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH and FSP protocols.

OPTIONS

       You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect to when it starts up.

       --help, -h

       proto  This specifies the protocol that should be used. It can currently be one of the following options: ftp, ftps, http, https, ssh, fsp,
	      local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol specified by the default_protocol option will be used.
