FTP Log

Post by trancerffm »

Hello. I´m quite surprised that my ts 109 offers no ftp log.:-( Is there any possibility to switch the log on ? I know that qnap uses proftpd witch natively have a very good loggin facilty. Greets Andi

Hi!
I´m very dissapointed to hear NOW that you have it in the "Roadmap 2008".
One of the main feature to buy a NAS Server was to have a complette FTP Server. In my opinion is the FTP Server from TS109 actually just a Toy ! :(

I'm almost never mean to people, but why did'nt you check what the Qnap NAS can do BEFORE you buy it?
And did you actually bought it to be just a FTP server?

And remember, Qnap NAS runs on Linux, so just learn that, and you can do whatever you want with the NAS.

Hi, all:
Thanks for valuable input. (And also thanks for pushing, it helps).
The log system for FTP, also for other protocol is designed and will be applied to TS-109 and TS-209 by future firmware update.

But sorry that I need to ask you to wait for a while.
Appreciate for all the great ideas and inputs.

Cheers,

A car can't run without wheels, but the NAS can run without FTP logging. If the most important thing for me is FTP server, I would make sure it supports everything I wanted before I bought it. But maybe that's just me....

This is just getting silly....

Just for your notice : Bevor i buy the NAS Server i ask Qnap about that feature. Believe me - it is an very imported feature for me. So Qnap told me that the ftp log will come very soon in a new Firmware.
I´don´t know anything about linux. And it is not my job to do that.

Will this be included also in a near future firmware upgrade for the TS-201? I really miss this feature.

For the "Qnap hackers" a raw logging feature can easily be created:

Change the following line in /etc/config/proftpd.conf:

Code: Select all

TransferLog                   NONE
to
TransferLog                  /share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/ftplogs/xferlog
add the following lines below "TransferLog" :

Code: Select all

LogFormat                    userlog "%u %b"
ExtendedLog                 /share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/ftplogs/bytes WRITE,READ userlog
After this create the ftplogs directory:

Code: Select all

mkdir  /share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/ftplogs
Issue the command to reread the config file:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/ftp.sh reconfig
And you are done, the ftplogs will appear in your webserver ftplogs directory, like:
http://yourqnap/ftplogs/xferlog
and
http://yourqnap/ftplogs/bytes

Excellent tip, thanks!

Curiously, it all appeared to work just fine, but the files "xferlog" and "bytes" remain 0 byte files, even after logging into ftp, performing a series of transactions (copy, change dir, etc etc), and then logging out.
