Kyle, There are some ftp client/servers available for Linux with vsftpd being a widly used one. You can check if it is running on the server using "service vsftpd status". It has a number of options for logging, by default my RHEL5 Guest writes /var/log/xferlog. Options are discussed in 19.2.5.7. Logging Options at https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-ftp-vsftpd-conf.html Mike O'Reilly IBM Linux Change Team

Thanks, Mike. However, I cannot find anything in /var/log that looks like
any sort of FTP log or log directory on the FTP server which is RHEL 5.9 on
z. Is there another pace I might find the ftp logs?

Kyle,
The FTP logs would be on the FTP server, on the host.domain. Whenever a
client/server is involved, it's typically the server that denies access to
something.

Mauro,
Do you mean to use something like Filezilla? I used Filezilla from my PC
and everything works fine. The install on a z/VM vm isn't though. Wher
would I find the FTP logs? I don't see anything in /var/log for anything
remotely like ftp.
Thanks for your help,
Kyle

I always try to connect using a console based ftp client first, so I can
see if everything is working.
Try it too, and check your logs on the server.
