outbound ftp logging

[Jim Johnson_8]

How do I log outbound ftp sessions (date/time, user, destination IP address, file names sent or received)?
I know that ftpd in /etc/inetd.conf only applies to inbound ftp connections.
Haven't seen this answered in the forums before.
I suspect the answer is TCP Wrapper.
I was hoping for something more user friendly or built into standard HP-UX 11i, and not have to monitor everybody's history file (which wouldn't contain file names/times).

Thanks!

A TCP wrapper isn't going to help you as it is geared towards incoming requests (ie. ftpd); what you need is a replacement ftp client. If I were you I would do a Google search on perhaps +"FTP Client" +logging +UNIX and you might get lucky. Coding a new FTP client would be fairly easy using Perl's NET::FTP module.
