Ftpmonitor

Ftpmonitor is a simple plasmoid designed for the KDE4 desktop that allows you to keep track of incoming connections to ftp daemons. It serves as a frontend to pure-ftpwho, ncftpd_spy, and ftpwho for pure-ftpd, ncftpd, and proftpd, respectively. For vsftpd, it looks for the output of ps -fe.

To install Ftpmonitor, follow these steps: unpack the source code, create a build directory, run the CMake command, build the project using the make command, and finally, install the software using sudo.

Once installed, Ftpmonitor can be used in a variety of ways. If you're using pure-ftpd, you'll need to set the path to the pure-ftpwho command in the config dialog. The path is usually /usr/sbin/pure-ftpwho or /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpwho. If you use sudo, you'll need to add the following line to the /etc/sudoers file: "username ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/pure-ftpwho".

For vsftpd, you'll need to add the following line to your vsftpd.conf file: "setproctitle_enable=YES". If you're using ncftpd, you'll need to add it to sudoers so that "sudo /usr/local/sbin/ncftpd_spy" can be executed without a user password. To do this, add the following line to the /etc/sudoers file: "username ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/sbin/ncftpd_spy". Don't forget to replace "username" with your actual username.

Finally, if you're using pro-ftpd, you simply need to configure the path to the ftpwho command properly. With its simple setup and ease of use, Ftpmonitor makes it easy to monitor ftp connections on your Linux machine.
