Xferstats FTP Statistics

All FTP activity that occurs on your server is recorded in a file called xferlog, which 

is located in the /var/log directory. To generate FTP statistics reports, log into your 

server and enter the xferstats command at the shell prompt, as shown below:

> xferstats

The xferstats program analyzes the xferlog file and produces a simple FTP 

statistics report. You can then view the report at the following URL, where 

example.com is your actual domain name:

http://www.

example.com

/ftpstats/totals.html

You will need to run the xferstats program every time you want to create an 

updated report, or you can use the cron facility to automatically run the program at 

a specified interval.
