And now the answer (a great THANK YOU to Mick Morgan that pointed out
the solution):
First of all, do not trust any books (even O'Reilly ones)!
At page 86 of Managing Internet Informations Services of O'Reilly, the author
says:
To enable transfer logging, use the log transfer command:
log transfer type [type ...] direction [,direction]
The book should say instead:
To enable transfer logging, use the log transfers command:
log transfers type [,type ...] direction [,direction]
So transfers with an 's' and coma separating types.
That's all!
Mick found the missing 's' problem by looking into the source access.c - it does a
strcasecmp on transfers with an 's'.
And I found the missing coma.
Thanks also to the following people which took time to help me on that topic :-)
