FTP Command Log

Is there a way to log FTP session commands to a file? Not the script log, but the actual exchanges between the two servers showing commands sent and the resulting reply.

I can see the commands zipping past in the Msched FTP status window... it is those I wish to log.

Just after the FTP command check the FTP_RESULT variable. I'm not sure how you might attain more detail than that. If you need to use several FTP commands, be sure to store the FTP_RESULT in a variable after each use.

let>r=1
FTPGetDirList>.......
let>FTPResult%r%=FTP_RESULT
let>r=r+1
FTPGetFile>.....
let>FTPResult%r%=FTP_RESULT

etc....

Does this help?

Thanks, I know and use the FTPRESULT. What I need is the log... the series of commands and results that Msched sends and receives as it goes through logon and file download. The FTP command sent returns a value or string from the remote site after each FTP command. For instance FTPGetFile has to send several FTP commands to accomplish what is does.

Go download the free ftp proxy program from:
http://www.security.nnov.ru/soft/3proxy/

Run it like this:

ftppr.exe -lc:\log.txt

Modify your FTP calls to use 127.0.0.1 for the server address. Username becomes user@serveraddress, e.g:

FTPGetFile>127.0.0.1,[email protected],password,21,....etc....etc

Now run as usual. c:\log.txt now contains complete session log - contains all FTP commands that have passed back and forth ....
