Enable SFTP Logs

Enable SFTP Logs

SFTP logs are disabled by default. Sometimes you need to enable the logs see what the users are upload/downloading from the server. You need to make two changes to enable SFTP logs.

Edit the subsystem line in /etc/sshd/sshd_config

Subsystem    sftp    /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server -f LOCAL7 -l INFO

Add below lines to /etc/sysctl.conf

#sftp logging
local7.*                        /var/log/sftpd.log
