ask for access to the ftp logs.  if they are too big, break them into
chunks.

Tracking FTP traffic

[Steven Vargas]

I recently built an CGI application for my client that sniffs IP and
performs very basic collocation. A traffic log is generated so that they
know which corporate office in which country is the new streaming servers.
It's kind of an ROI tool at the moment. Today my client asked if there was a
way to track FTP sessions. Since they don't have a standard client for FTP
sessions, I told him I didn't know of any way in Perl (note: the server logs
are too big and not available for us to scan). My question to all of you is,
have you ever done this sort of thing? And, what sort of server
configuration changes would I have to ask of the administrator (Solaris
boxes running Netscape Enterprise server)? I think there will be people in
Limavady, or Budapest that will only access this files via shell FTP.

Any guidance is hugely, hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven
