# 3.8. Logging

The Logging Panel

This panel allows you to to control what activities will be logged (to `/var/log/xferlog`). Anonymous, guest and real users can have different events logged, including issued commands, uploads, downloads and security violations (like login failures).

Checking Redirect log to syslog sends the log entries to the system log instead of the FTP log.

Mail can be sent to the administrator when files are uploaded. The `From:` address of the mails, the mail server and the administrator's email address can be specified.

In the screenshot, all commands and transfers are logged, as are security violations by real users. Uploads are signalled by a message to "admin" from "Upload Notice" sent through the default mail server.
