Question FTP log for (failed) login attemps

Hello

Where do I find the ftp log for login failed attemps? Using the google/forum search lead me to this folder

Code:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs

I have files with name "xferlog_regular". But this log contains only file uploads. I don't see the login attemps itself.

To give some context: my goal is to find brut force attacks on my ftp server...
 
I believe, that I found it. The following should output ftp login attempts

Code:
grep "proftpd" /var/log/auth.log
