I am a beginner in Linux. I am using Plesk onyx with 17.5.3 Ubuntu 16.04 1705170317.16. My ExtendedLog configured in /etc/proftpd.conf is not working.
Following is my /etc/proftpd.conf
#
# To have more informations about Proftpd configuration
# look at : http://www.proftpd.org/

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

# Allow SSL/TLS renegotiations when the client requests them, but
# do not force the renegotations. Some clients do not support
# SSL/TLS renegotiations; when mod_tls forces a renegotiation, these

# on an idle data connection.
TLSRenegotiate none
# As of ProFTPD 1.3.3rc1, mod_tls only accepts SSL/TLS data connections
# that reuse the SSL session of the control connection, as a security measure.
# Unfortunately, there are some clients (e.g. curl) which do not reuse SSL sessions.

# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd) MaxInstances 30

This is my customized configuration file. Added ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp.log in my configuration file. But extended log /var/log/ftp.log is not created yet. I touch this file manually but no use, logs are not populating.
Any answers will be appreciated.

Try to set non-world writable permissions to /var/log/ftp.log as it recommended at http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_ExtendedLog.html
I have tested it by the following steps and it worked:
"ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp.log read,write" >> /etc/proftpd.conf
/var/log/ftp.log
&&chmod 644 /var/log/ftp.log
root@server:/# cat /var/log/ftp.log

Update: the permissions were set to 664
