Hello,

I want to log all outputs to log file when I am doing ftp to any server.

It must be run on backuground and not affect my working.

Is there any advice ?

You can use the tee command to append stdout and stderr command output to a file while still writing to the terminal.

Example:

Code:

ftp ftpserver.example.com 2>&1 | tee -a ftplog.txt

You'll get all the normal output at your terminal, and a copy in file ftplog.txt.
