NAME

       xferlog - ProFTPD server logfile

DESCRIPTION

       The  xferlog file contains logging information from the FTP server daemon, proftpd(8).  This file usually
       is found in /var/log but can be located anywhere by using a  proftpd(8)  configuration  directive.   Each
       server  entry  is  composed  of  a  single line of the following form, with all fields being separated by
       spaces.

              current-time    transfer-time    remote-host    file-size    filename    transfer-type    special-
              action-flag     direction     access-mode     username     service-name    authentication-method
              authenticated-user-id  completion-status

       current-time        is the current local time in the form "DDD MMM dd hh:mm:ss YYYY". Where  DDD  is  the
                           day  of the week, MMM is the month, dd is the day of the month, hh is the hour, mm is
                           the minutes, ss is the seconds, and YYYY is the year.

       file-size           is the size of the transferred file in bytes.

       filename            is the name of the transferred file.  If the filename contains any spaces or  control
                           characters, each such character is replaced by an underscore ('_') character.

       transfer-type       is a single character indicating the type of transfer. Can be one of:

                                  T         file was tar'ed
                                  _         no action was taken

       direction           is the direction of the transfer. Can be one of:
                                  o         outgoing
                                  i         incoming
                                  d         deleted

       access-mode         is the method by which the user is logged in. Can be one of:
                                  a         (anonymous) is for an anonymous guest user.
                                  r         (real) is for a local authenticated user.

       authenticated-user-id
                           is the  user  id  returned  by  the  authentication  method.   A  *  is  used  if  an

       completion-status   is a single character indicating the status of the transfer.  Can be one of:
