I want to log communication FTP server and clients..

All communication can be logged by monitoring the FTP packets..

But How can i get the host name of the FTP site , which the client sends
to server in the start , in order to log in to that particular site..

plz guide me, which protocol i need to check in order to capture the
ftp sits's host name..??

Thanks....

If you don't have the host name, do you have an IP address?
From the command-prompt, can you?:
ping -a {that IP address}

If you can, it might respond with the host name.

I need the host name of the site for which the client has sent the request.
Not the host name of the client itself...
