RE: [Proftpd-user] bandwith calculation

[Robert - T. <rob...@sa...>]

Yes, daily processing of the transfer logs would be more than sufficient
for my needs. The problem is that I'm not familiar with linux scripting,
so that sure is a problem for me.

Perhaps anybody knows of a script out there that can process the
transfer log and put it in a database?

Regards

Robert

Or just running a fairly basic script against proftpd's log; it depends
on the kind of granularity you're looking for. Processing the logs is
fine for per-day, and (arguably) acceptable for per-hour. Anything more
granular than that, and ftpwho would be the way to go, with the caveat
that it can't help you if sendfile is enabled. I think I have that
right. I'm sure folks will leap to correct if I'm not. =)
