Where to find traces

The z/OS UNIX FTP server sends its trace entries to syslogd. As shown in the following example, the daemon.debug statement in /etc/syslog.conf specifies where syslogd writes FTP trace records:

 #
  # All ftp, rexecd, rshd
  # debug messages (and above
  # priority messages) go
  # to server.debug.a
  #
  daemon.debug              /tmp/syslogd/server.debug.a

All z/OS UNIX FTP trace entries are written to the same z/OS® UNIX file system file.

Note: The TRACE parameter and MODIFY operator command options are issued to the FTP daemon and affect all client sessions that connect to the z/OS UNIX FTP server while tracing is active.

See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about syslogd.
