Diagnosing FTP server problems with traces
Syslog tracing is available to aid in debugging z/OS® UNIX FTP server problems. The following methods are available
to start, stop, or modify syslog daemon and server tracing:
- TRACE start option
- FTP.DATA DEBUG statement
- FTP.DATA DUMP statement
- MODIFY jobname,DUMP operator command
- MODIFY jobname,DEBUG operator command
- Server SITE DEBUG command
- Server SITE DUMP command
- See Start tracing during FTP initialization and z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference, for details about the TRACE start option and FTP.DATA statements.
- See Controlling the FTP server traces with MODIFY operator command and z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands for details about the MODIFY operator command.
- See Stop tracing, Tracing activity for one user, and the z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands for details about the SITE command.
After a client has logged in to FTP, the client can issue SITE DEBUG or SITE DUMP commands to change tracing for that session only.
