In this paper, a modeling toolkit is proposed for modeling user behavior from FTP server log files. This toolkit can develop analytical models from the data at hand with minimum assumptions. Analytic models are intended to be data driven, which means users are not required to be experts on mathematics or statistics. Moreover, the toolkit provides a simple yet practical way to generate simulated traffic from the analytic models.
