No raw FTP logs

In WHM raw FTP log file download gives "the requested log file for the domain is empty" for all domains. There are FTP log files in the logs folder but they are last updated Dec 30 2014. How do I activate FTP logs? Raw apache log file download works fine. Or are there no logs because I us SFTP (not FTP)?

  Hello, SFTP is essentially FTP over SSH. It does not run on the same protocol as FTP. Thus, there is no SFTP activity logged to your FTP log files. Thank you.

  there is a way to log SFTP activity in /etc/ssh/sshd_config look for the line Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server change it to Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server -l INFO i think cPanel will not split this information in the domain's ftp log but you may be able to get some data @cPanel: this is something to do, you've added ftpsh as a default shell allowing all users to upload files without logging the uploads, if a password gets compromised we will not be able to track the upload

  Thank you but i'm unable to register there, i need an invite code, forum login details don't work there

  
  You should be able to leave the invite code blank. Let us know if this does not work. Thank you.
