Logging multiple servers to one log server

If you manage more than one WS_FTP Server, you can have all of your servers send log entries to one central log server.

To log multiple servers to a central log server:

  1. Open the WS_FTP Server Manager of one of the servers you want to send log entries to the central log server.
  2. From the top menu, select Server > Server Settings > Log Settings. The Log Settings page opens.
  3. To log to a central Ipswitch Log Server, select Enable WS_FTP Logging and enter the IP address (or host name) and Port on which the log server is listening.

    - OR -

    To log to a central syslog server, select Enable Syslog and enter IP address (or host name) and Port on which the syslog server is listening.

  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat these steps for each additional WS_FTP Server that you want to send log entries to the central log server.
