RTFM. From man ftpd,
-l Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog
with a facility of LOG_FTP. If this option is specified twice,
the retrieve (get), store (put), append, delete, make directory,
remove directory and rename operations and their filename argu-
ments are also logged. Note: LOG_FTP messages are not displayed
by syslogd(8) by default, and may have to be enabled in
syslogd(8)'s configuration file.
So, if you want to track _everything,_ modify your ftp line in
/etc/inetd.conf to,
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l -l -S
And then add where you want it logged in /etc/syslogd.conf. See the
manpage for syslogd(8) on how to do that.
