My question is somewhat similar to this, but a little different from that:

I want to monitor the file execution/access history on a CentOS 7.2 machine. I know that a remote server is calling some files on my local machine through SSH in order to finish some tasks, so I want to find out what files on my local machine that the server is calling. I tried to use the terminal command:

ls -lu

but it didn't show any invocation history that was triggered by the remote server through SSH. Later I learned about inotify. But I also heard that it's not available on Centos 7. Is it true? If not, how should I use it? I didn't find a dirty and quick inotify tutorial for centos. Is there any system logs that records this type of information? Any other ideas on how to achieve my goal?

  • "a remote server is calling some files on my local machine..." How is this remote server accessing the local files? Through NFS? SSH? SFTP? Something else? – Kenster Oct 05 '18 at 11:37
  • @Kenster Through SSH. Thanks I added that information to the questions – Young Oct 05 '18 at 16:02
  • SSH isn't inherently a file-access protocol. What is this remote program invoking through ssh to access these files? – Kenster Oct 05 '18 at 16:07
  • @Kenster Some scripts. Python or bash scripts or both. – Young Oct 05 '18 at 16:07
