sftp logs files

you can find login entries in the /var/log/auth.log, look for "subsystem request for sftp".
if you don't want to have LOGs (is not recommended), the sshd daemon should be restarted with nolog option.

Thanks for the reply.
I want to have the logs but will like to know how to clear them up.
I want to delete unnecessary login details.

pls. check the /var/log/auth.log file
there are no unecessary login details - this is my opinion

could you tell me more precisely, what do you plan to clean up?

thanks. I mean.. suppose 3 people (X,Y,Z) have logged in on a particular day.
next day i want to clear up the login data for person "Y".
Is that possible?

it is possible (but I have to repeat, not recommended):

  # sed -i '/Y/d' /var/log/auth.log
  (replace Y by the real name, to be clean up)
