Downloading an FTP log is useful for monitoring exactly what FTP actions have occurred on your domain.

To download FTP access logs for particular client:
1. Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
2. Click on the FTP Accounts link.
3. Click on one of the URLs listed at the bottom of the window, or copy and paste that URL into an FTP client application.

Hello,

I have tried to download Raw FTP logs as mentioned from Cpanel FTP manager as below.

1. Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
2. Click on the FTP Accounts link.
3. Click on one of the URLs listed at the bottom of the window, or copy and paste that URL into an FTP client application.

I was not able to download any logs for domain.

I tried it for 4 to 5 domains but I am getting page cannot be displayed error.

But I think this logs are only the access logs, if I need all FTP logs for domain than what to do?

Let me know what is the solution for download of FTP logs from client end.

Thanks in advance

You could look in
/usr/local/apache/domlogs

You can do something simple as cat the output to his email or send it to
a directory in his account where he can easily access it.

setup a cronjob to put it in somewhere in his account on a daily basis.
crontab -e
then modify and add this to suite your needs
This will update his file daily at 5am. If it is quite large, you can always pipe it to zip.

0 5 * * * cp /usr/local/apache/domlogs/ftp.domain.log-ftp_log /home/user/public_html/some_directory
