Looking at /var/log/messages of several *nix systems around ...
Guess what, there are a lot of non-error messages in /var/log/messages
just to inform you about various _events_

There you are, being hostile again. Why dont you just try to _understand_
what these logs mean?

... xfer_data (server to client): failed (Connection reset by peer)

have you read it?

It means a data connection is broken.  By whom? peer.
Hmm, either the client, or the server is closing the
connection, probably prematurely. Perhaps I, or another user
aborted the connection by ^C or 'stop' button? Some network failure?
Whatever. ftp-proxy is just informing you of the event. But I
dont want to see it. Perhaps ftp-proxy has a debugging option?
man ftp-proxy ... hmm, it does have one, but it is disabled by default
I can then redirect ftp-proxy logs to some other file. man syslog.conf
There! now I dont need to bother a lot of people with my trivial problems.
And I learned a few things too ...

See? not too difficult is it?
Please try it next time.
