iftop is designed to be a real time view of network traffic.  I don't
think it's output would make much sense in a file.

Exactly what kind of report do you want to have generated?

Are you wanting to get a list of traffic to and from each address that
communicates with your system, broken down by port?  Are you wanting
it to be divided into time intervals, or are you wanting totals?

You'd have to describe in much greater detail what it is you're
wanting to get from a file dump, and it's likely that there are better
tools out there already for what you're wanting.. ?
