The Status codes for FTP transfers are not the same as the http status
codes. 226 seems to be the status code for a successful server->client
transfer. There are also a lot of lines in an FTP log that aren't requests
in the http sense, so you probably need to filter them out. If the primary
purpose is simply to charge the customer for bytes transferred, then a
script to parse the log might be the best option. You'll need to examine a
number of sample logs to figure out which fields matter.

IIS doesn't include the size of headers in it's byte counts, as far as I
know. (So the bandwidth used by Cookies, for examples, isn't recorded in
the logs. But I haven't verified this).
