FTP SMF Log

The FTP SMF Log provides details on completed FTPs. The data for this report is from the SMF exit. Data is provided for both FTP Client and FTP Server. An FTP Client is a Host who receives FTPs from a PC. An FTP Server is a Host who sends FTPs to a PC.

Filter the data to view only the desired FTPs. In the FTP SMF Log Filter screen below, the user has selected Include Both in order to view both FTP Servers and FTP Clients.
