Re: log FTP date/time

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd recommend using Scott Klement's FTPAPI. That way you can do
anything you want with logging. Here's an example of a log file I use
for a transfer to a bank. The message is what's returned from the
FTPAPI logging function. I use a procedure that writes the data, time,
and message to the log file for every FTP action. I used to use the
FTP OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) method, but this is so much easier and you have
more control.

And of course another way would be to have a program that writes the
date/time to the log file as part of your script.

Transfer  Transfer Message
Date      Time
20070605  113912   230-*
