Use the drop down arrow to show all IP addresses available for this machine, plus an option to use 'all available'.

NOTE - that if you need to run multiple FTP sites you must use a separate IP address for each site, with DNS records set up appropriately.

However, you can specify different folders for different users under the same FTP site to give the effect of having separate FTP sites.

If checked all the connections are logged in W3C format which is a standardized format so you can use your own parsers, etc. to easily analyze the logs.

e.g. c:\logs\FTP\"yyyymmdd".log

Delete logs older than (Days)

NOTE that if zero is left, logs are not deleted.
