I would love to. Where is it hidden? I have looked in the console log
ond the FTPSERVE LOG file. Unfortunatelt, the former, which contains
timestamps due to the ability to set them on in CP, has no error
messages, while the latter has no timestamps and very little, if any, in
the way of information that ties any given message to a specific
incident.
In the 30,000 line FTPSERVS LOG, there are only 10 unique messages as
follows:
Foreign host aborted the connection
Foreign host did not respond within OPEN timeout
No such connection
Foreign host rejected the open attempt
Foreign host is no longer responding
TCP/IP service is being shut down
Destination network is unreachable
Foreign host disagreed on security or precedence
OK
Software error in TCP/IP!
The last message in the above list occurred only once on 12 July 2006
(at least it included a timestamp), so we can eliminate it from
consideration. Which of the other messages raises a flag? More
precisely, which of the others would have caused the file that already
existed in SFS to be corrupted? (My favorite is the "OK". It reminds me
of Unix back in 1979 - the most frequent error message was a question
mark, and it was displayed for any number of errors.)

That error message is from the PC client in response to a server error,
not VM. You need to see the error generated by the VM FTP server.
