Reports from vsftp with webalizer

[claudineij]

I have a ftp server where files are sent from various locations each location has its own User and password for ftp, I need a report from webalizer or similar software, with the statistics of sending separated by User from ftp or linux, someone can help me out?
Webalizer is already running on the server, but the report does not distinguish by User.


thank you

If you have these set:

# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES

# Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case.
xferlog_std_format=YES

in the vsftpd.log config file (typically in the /etc/vsftpd/ directory), then you should have a log file containing a lot (or some) of what you want. you can configure where it goes, but by default, i think you'll find it here:

/var/log/xferlog

The syntax is kind of funny, read up on the xferlog field meanings online. you can try the tool xferstats to parse it, too.
