yes, data channel transfers files and file listings.  Why should you log
that kind of information?

howeverm, if you really need it, you can do standard packet capture
(tcpdump,wireshark) and parse the result (wireshark is nice for that)

this is the format data are sent over the network, it's up to the
client/server to parse.
I guess extendedlog is not designed for what you want it to do.

transferlog uses "wu-ftpd style" file transfer log as the doc say.
extended log has configurable format, so it's an alternative to transferlog.
