Description
Hi all,
I am pretty new to Openssh/Sftp and I am managing to replicate the behaviour of a very old product (Platinum FTP), once installed on a 2K3 server.
When it comes to logging user activity, I've been able to only make it create the <ftp-server.log>, where the activity from all users is logged. I need to have a single logfile for each user. How could I possibly have that?
This is my current <sshd_config> settings
Logging
SyslogFacility LOCAL0
LogLevel Debug3
Match User xxxxxxxxxxx
ChrootDirectory D:\SFTP\xxxxxxxxxxx
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
ForceCommand sftp-server.exe -l INFO -f LOCAL0
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the sshd_config settings and the ForceCommand sftp-server.exe invocation shown in the issue, then review how Win32-OpenSSH handles SFTP logging and chrooted users on Windows. Determine whether per-user log files under each user's logs folder are supported and identify the relevant configuration or implementation entry point. Done means the behavior is documented or implemented and verified with separate user activity logs.
