File transfers

Every file uploaded to or downloaded from a server through WebFTP leaves a record here. Use this page to see which files were moved, who moved them, when, and how big each one was.

How to get here

Open the sidebar and go to Audit → Events → File transfers (or My events → File transfers if you’re a regular user).

What’s in the list

ColumnWhat it shows
ServerThe server the transfer touched
UsernameThe OS account used for the transfer

Object nameThe file or directory name

SizeThe size of the transfer

Click the expand icon on any row to see the full path of the file or directory on the server.

Who sees what

The page is open to all users, but the rows scope to your role.

Regular users see only the transfers they themselves performed. The sidebar label is My file transfers.

Administrators see every transfer across the workspace. The sidebar label is File transfers.

The narrowing is enforced server-side — direct URLs follow the same rule.

Common things you’d check here

  • Data security — see who pulled sensitive files off a server, and when. Spot potential data exfiltration.
  • Compliance — keep an audit trail of file movement for regulatory review.
  • Operations — verify that a configuration file or release artifact actually landed on the right server.
  • Personal check — confirm a file you uploaded earlier today made it through.
