Hi firware,

I don't understand the usefulness of this option.

Proftpd daemon automatically creates this log and if you don't want see the content, just do not display the menu! ;)

I connect via fuse and it's logging to the ftp file every few seconds. The ftp is not as fast as the Lacie version for me and now im getting reports that the log file is full. I don't need it at all so i'd like to turn it off.

Ok I understand now.

But you can easily obtain what you want with the additionnal setup file :you can overwrite the directive "systemLog" of the main file. (without development 8-) )

- if you haven't yet this file, you can create it in the share "fvdw" (eg mycustomsetup.conf)
- put in this file, the following line :
Code: Select all
SystemLog NONE
(be careful sensitive case for "none", it's a keyword)
-and, in the FTP setup menu, type in the field "Additional Settings File"
Code: Select all
/fvdw/mycustomsetup.conf

I tested on my NAS, no line is then added in the log file :)
