Is it possible to have logs for my FTP sessions?
Yes, it is. In order to enable the FTP log, you should edit the /etc/ftpaccess file.

Please find the following lines and remove the comments(#):

#log commands real
#log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

After removing the #'s, the above 2 lines should look like this.

log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound

After this has been done, the log file will be created at /var/log/xferlog.
