A couple of other thoughts:
 
ftpaccess is a config file, not a log file.  You don't mention what flavour
of Unix you're on, but on Linux, you could scan /var/log/secure for ftp
access attempts.  Under SCO OpenServer, you might check /var/adm/syslog.

Subject: [U2] anonymous ftp commands


Hi all,
 
There is an external application that sends data to our system via ftp that
I want to monitor.  I would like for this user to execute a unix touch on a
file in their home directory using the ftp quote command  (quote SH -C
"touch ./myfile").  This would tell me that their server is up even though
there is no data to send.  The problem is (i am guessing) that they do not
have authority to the touch command.  I thought I could copy the touch
command into the users home directory to get it to work but it did not.  I
looked at a file called /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess but nothing jumped out at me in
there.
 
Can anyone tell me if what I am trying to do is feasible and if so what I am
doing wrong?
 
Thanks
