As promised we have now developed the log viewer which shows the events which have been logged by the FTP processes. The log view has a number of columns each of which is sortable but the default sort is done by the Date and Time with the latest entry at the top. Here is sample view of the log on our test server.
A couple of interesting things came about while generating the log, you will see that we deleted a file ‘/home/CHRISH/??_???????`%??>?>????????’, one of the issues we all come across from time to time is where a file in the IFS has a strange name, deleting the file using the normal IFS commands is not possible as it will always return ‘File not found’ errors. Using FTP (actually we used FileZilla) you can see that we successfully deleted the file in question. The log also shows a ‘Send File’ operation, that was actually a get operation from the FTP client but the event gets logged as a ‘Server Send File’ operation..
The PHP interface is now pretty much complete but we need to do some more work on the UIM interface to align the data store with the actual output to the UIM Manager. Once that is finished and we have done some more testing FTP Guard4i will be available for download.
