Is it possible to log what files that are transfered with sftp.
When files are sent with ftp I log this in the xferlog file (on HP-UX).

I'm trying to migrate my clients into using sftp instead of ftp when
transfering files, but I need to log what files are transferred, from
where (IP, local username) they came, and when.

What about scp?

I use rssh to restrict my clients to scp and sftp only.
