When ftpshut is issued to the system, it creates a file that stores the necessary information. The ftprestart command removes this file for all servers, either canceling the impending shutdown or removing the shutdown file and restarting the FTP server. The ftprestart has only one optional argument, -V, to show version information.

Use /var/log/xferlog to View a Log of Server Transactions

The xferlog file gives a log of what transactions have occurred with the FTP server. Depending on the settings in the /etc/ftpaccess file, the contents of this file can contain the files sent or received, by whom, with a date stamp. Table 20.5 lists the fields of this file. The same information can also be found in the corresponding man page included in the wu-ftp RPM.
