How do I configure an FTP server for uploading CacheFlow access logs?

Products

• CacheFlow Appliance Software

Issue/Introduction

CacheFlow can maintain an access log for each HTTP request and store the log in one of three formats (common, Squid-compatible, and custom). You can use a variety of reporting utilities to read these formats.

To upload CacheFlow access logs to an FTP server, go to the CLI root configure menu and type:

access-log

This changes the prompt to:

 

CF_Name#(config access-log)

 

Then, enable the FTP client type and specify the FTP server for uploads.

Example

CF_Name> enable

Enable Password:

 

CF_Name #config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL-Z.
