doejohn is the user ID of the person who logged in.
pts/1 dura-srv.mycompany.com is the port, pts/1, and machine or PC, dura-srv.mycompany.com from which the user logged in. Instead of the host name, the logs might display the IP address.
17:08 (08:43) is the time the user logged in and the amount of time the user was logged into the system (08:43). If the user is still logged in, the log shows still logged in.
Linux file transfer log
Results for the Linux file transfer log use the following format:
yyyymmdd:sequence number:hhmmss.milliseconds:transfer time:remote host name:file size:file name:transfer type:special action taken:direction of transfer:login method:local user name:name of service invoked:user ID:transfer status

b is the type of transfer. b refers to a binary transfer and a refers to an ASCII transfer.
_ is the special action taken. In this case, "" indicates that no action was taken.

ftp (file transfer protocol) is the name of the invoked service.
Note The system records data in a log file when invoking an FTP session from a remote PC to the host server using an anonymous login. Conversely, the system does not record data in a log file when invoking an FTP session from the host server to a remote PC.
0 is the method of authentication used. 0 means that no authentication method was used.
* is the user ID returned by the authentication method. * indicates that an authenticated user ID is unavailable.
