ftp-proxy LogDestination file issue

Neeraj0019 · 06-14-2021, 12:37 PM

Hi,
I have one ftp-proxy integrated within one service and after every file upload/download service kills the ftp-proxy server and starts it again. I have used "LogDestinationFile" as ["LogDestination"] = "/var/log/ftp-proxy.log"

I see that first time when ftp-proxy runs it creates the log file with name "ftp-proxy.log" and write logs to it which is perfect, but on subsequent runs it keeps creating new files with timestamp appended to it like below.

ftp-proxy.log.20210614-211837
ftp-proxy.log.20210614-212733

Any idea why this happens and how to avoid multiple files getting generated?

Br,
Neeraj

Not really, since you have provided us with no details. We don't know what FTP server you're using, what the 'one service' you're talking about is, or even the version/distro of Linux. Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature.

Past all that is WHY you'd use FTP in 2021, versus using SFTP/SCP.
