# ftpstats(8)

FTP Log summarizer

## NAME

ftpstats - FTP Log summarizer

## SYNOPSIS

**ftpstats** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Ftpstats dissects the defined ftp log and reports various  statistics as requested. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** filename

  Use *filename* rather than the default */var/log/xferlog*

- **-r**

  Include real users.

- **-a**

  Include anonymous users.

- **-h**

  Include report on hourly traffic.

- **-d**

  Include report on domain traffic.

- **-t**

  Report on total traffic by section.

- **-i**

  Report on incoming traffic only (uploads).

- **-o**

  Report on outgoing traffic only (downloads).

- **-D**domain

  Report only on traffic from *domain* This option leads to problems with the local domain:  e.g. test.com is encountered under test and not recognized under com, -D com will give you only stats about com excluding test.com!  Use -A com for correct results.

- **-A**address

  Report only on traffic from addresses whose end matches *address* e.g. -A test.domain.com will report on address ending with test.domain.com

- **-l**depth

  Depth of path detail for sections

- **-s**section

  Section to report on.  e.g. -s /pub will report only on paths under /pub
