SUMMARY
=======

The Internet Information Server records FTP, Gopher and WWW server logon
activities to the %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles directory by default. This
article describes how to record the log information to three separate files.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To write to different logs files, create three directories under
%SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles as follows:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\FTP
  %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\Gopher
  %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\WWW

1. From Internet Server Manager select one service at a time and click on the
  "Logging" tab.

2. Modify the "Log file directory" to point to the new corresponding path shown
  above.

3. Click on OK.

4. Follow the procedure for steps 1 through 3 for FTP, Gopher, and WWW.

5. Stop and restart all three services from the Internet Server Manager.
