Parameters

TRUE
The FTP server should log FTP session activity.

When ANONYMOUSFTPLOGGING is TRUE, a long delay in login processing might occur because the FTP server issues a DNS query to resolve the remote host IP address.

FALSE
The FTP server should not log FTP session activity.

Examples

To request that the FTP server log session activity for an anonymous user: 
ANONYMOUSFTPLOGGING TRUE

Usage notes

  • Each activity logging message has a message number within the range of EZYFS50 to EZYFS95.
  • ANONYMOUSFTPLOGGING controls logging for anonymous users.
  • If ANONYMOUSFTPLOGGING is TRUE, connectivity, authentication, and access activity log entries are made for all sessions because the server does not know whether the login is anonymous or not.
