Hello. I am looking for an FTP server software that let me monitor the ftp activities on my notebook. Both server and the notebook runs Gentoo Linux except the server doesn't have any X11 related stuff. The reason I want to do this is because I offer my users file to download and I often need to monitor what they are doing to make sure they gets connected. This is especially useful when doing support on the phone, I can call my user and instruct him to download file, at the meantime see he logged in and doing the right thing.
I used pure-ftpd and pureadmin (a GUI for monitoring pure-ftpd). Pureadmin has every feature I need (see who is logged in, see activities) but it has to be run AFAIK on the same computer that runs ftp server. I used filezilla server which let me control it through a control connection and see activities, but the server software doesn't have a Linux version. I used pro-ftpd and didn't see the option for it's GUI manager to connect to a remote server. What software in Linux world can do this? As I am monitoring ftp through a wireless LAN which max at 300KB/s, running X11-forwarding is not comfortable. running a desktop session on the server and run vnc seems overkill. Thanks for hints in advance! Best regards
