Please post questions to an appropriate forum.
Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Moderators, where you posted your question, has a description that reads "Make Suggestions About Forums, Features, or Content here. Discuss Rules and Guidelines. Get Forum Support Here. (Registered Users Only)". You're not doing anything like that in this thread. I have moved this thread to the AIX forum.
Also, please try to use a more informative title. Your post isn't even one that could accurately be called "quick". As for your first question, yes, when a post which is a more than a couple old was not answered, the question can be asked again and this is not considered a violation of rule 4.
I don't use AIX, but see this doc which tells how to enable logging:

But ftp does not use a shell and should not cause .profile to be run. I get the impression that you think otherwise. Try it. Connect via ftp and see if your .profile adds a line to your log file.
