Having NetTracker FTP Your Log Files

---

When you add a log file to a profile, you can choose to have NetTracker download the log file from an FTP server. There are two issues of which you should be aware.

First, if a log file’s size has changed since the last time the profile was updated, NetTracker will download the entire log file, which can be very slow with large log files. If you are having NetTracker download the log files, you should rotate your log files daily (or weekly if your traffic is low).
Second, if you work behind a firewall, you may need to tell NetTracker to access the FTP server in passive mode. This option is on by default. For details, see "Accessing FTP Servers in Passive Mode".
