| Hi all,
anyone knows why WS_FTP possibly looses the Log View?
I get dictionary (I guess) attack on a daily bases since I opened the port for the SSH.
Thats ok, they trying to control a machine... they think its a linux/unix machine.
The ISSUE is that suddenly, I am unable to see any log anymore.
The logs are there. I can open them with notepad.
But I cannot figure out what caused the Log view to never return any results no matter what day and time I choose!
I restarted the services, the machine... nothing!
Anyone had that experience and/or have a possible help/solution for me?
Possibly NOT reinstalling the server!!! That would be the ultimate solution!! :-)
I believe is a quite good and stable FTP server... But I need my logs!
Thanks,
Camaleonte

| The situation is even more strange...
when you pick a date from the calendar in Log Viewer, choose a range of date: 1st november 2007 till 30 november 2007.
November 1 to 6 is in the range.
Funny enough, the viewer shows logs!
If you choose specific date, nothing shows up!
So I came back to the larger range... and everything was back again LOOK like normal!!
On a closer look, you figure out that the title of the view shows the right date range BUT the logs are from August!
I got the feeling that there is an issue in the time format!
But even that makes no sense!!
How did it pick up August month???
Is that random choice?

| You got any closer to a fix on this? I have a couple of these servers on trial, and have the same issues.
Mine worked until I changed my listeners from 127.0.0.1 to the interface IP's (as I need two FTP listeners on the same server), so unsure if thats connected. Again the logs are in the directory but when I use the log viewer I get a bunch of logs, but only if I select today to some time next year, even then I get all logs or no logs. Something a little stinky here, I was considering just using the syslog option as a work around until a fix comes around. |

| Are there plug in replacements for the standard, 6.0 logging server?- I don't like logging in XML.
- I'd prefer to log to a database table.
- I don't like the functionality of the built-in log viewer.
Ideally, I would have a logging server on the same port that writes data back to the PostgreSQL database that's already installed or one of our MSSQL boxes. |

Hi,
no, not any closer...
but now that you said you got the same issue when changed the listener.... I think that this started as well at about the same time when I start using the SSH myself. I did not open that port before and no one was using SSH.
Maybe it has to do with the use of more listeners???
Interesting!!
But I got no news from anyone so far!
I am sure Ipswitch with look at this Forum sooner or later.
Lets hope!
Bye

| ... But I found a workaround!
If you do NOT choose a date from the 'date picking up' but simply change the date on the text field, it works!
Its extremely odd... but it works that way!
I am sure it got to do with date format!
(US vs International)
I cannot see any other reason!
I hope this helps you!

| Sorry for digging out old thread...
I have exactly same problem. WS FTP server with SSH (v6.1) and logs stopped showing. I checked and server makes logs, but log viewer cannot show them. All it shows is empty results with text that nothing matched with filter. |
