vsftpd not logging

[mojo]

I have a fresh CentOS 7 install with vsftpd running.

vsftpd is setup to allow sftp only and currently functions as expected except it is not logging any transfers.

vsftpd: version 3.0.2

I've tried a number of different combinations in the config file (restarting vsftpd each time) with out any luck. My current config options for logging are:

# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format.
# Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case.
xferlog_std_format=NO

I've tried xferlog_std_format with both Yes and No.

vsftpd doesn't do sftp, it does ftps. If you're using sftp to connect to the server then it's not talking to vsftpd, it's talking to the open ssh daemon.

That explains it. I thought vsftpd used sshd for part of the process but that vsftpd handled most of the work.

Thank you.
