FTP Monitor

[kajo]

Hi. I wonder if it is possible to monitor the bandwidth and size of an FTP account I have on my server ? Can I somehow determine the size and bandwidth per month of a FTP account ? Thanx

It would be possible to write a script that would parse the proftpd access logs and compile usage per account for you.

Is that sort of script very difficult to write and install ? I must say, unfortunately, that I am not the best webmaster there is , and to be honest, writing such a script is overpowering for me ! If there is anything you could advise me (write the script perhaps ;p ) I would be glad. . .

AWStats is supposed to be able to parse ProFTPD Log files and give you nice web-based graphical displays of the data. Here is the home page:

and here is the section on setting it up for ProFTPD:
