FTP Logs
Files.com offers extensive real-time audit logs for FTP, capturing various details such as the time of the action, remote IP, server IP, username, authentication details, sequence ID, action types, path, file names, FTP command names, entries returned, duration, and status for every FTP file transfer to your site.
We currently retain these logs for 30 days, but we are gradually increasing this to 180 days, with the 180-day retention expected to be in place by 2025.
