I've had a poke around for ftp logs under /var but I can't find anything, only some files relatng to wu-ftpd which I installed then uninstalled. Now I'm using the standard ftpd that comes with debian. Where should the logs be? Under /var is my best guess, but I can't find them. alex -- Now playing: nothing at all
