Logging
Cerberus FTP Server’s customizable logging feature tracks all client and file activity in near real-time.
Administrators can quickly view their most recent log output from the Cerberus UI, through web administration, by looking at the Log page.
The server also stores a longer log history on the file system. You can manage file-based logging through an XML configuration file that controls how your log data is written to a file.
