    Red face FTP Log

    Hi.

    I think that someone got access to my webspace last night, and I roughly know the time, so I was searching for a log to check who got FTP access at that time. I'm pretty new to CPanel. I found some raw access logs, but they seem to be about visiting the website and not about FTP stuff. Then I found some FTP protocol, but that was listing only who is connected right now, and not who was connected last night.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    FTP activity is logged to:

    /var/log/messages

    This log file also includes other system activity, so you will need to search specific terms within it. Example:

    Code:
    # grep username /var/log/messages
    Please note that root access to the server is required to access this file.

    Thank you.
