okay bestie, welcome to the ftpwho(1) page from the General Commands Manual — it's giving "who's currently on the FTP server?" and honestly? iconic. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

ftpwho — show current process information for each FTP session.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ftpwho

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ftpwho is your little snoop tool for FTP vibes. It shows process information for all active proftpd connections, plus a count of all connected users off of each server. And listen: Proftpd sessions spawned from inetd are counted separately from those created by a master proftpd standalone server. No mixing, no merging, periodt. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — Display a short usage description, including all available options. Basically the "help me bestie" button. 🫶
  • -f, --file scoreboard-file — Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file. That file is configured via the ScoreboardFile directive in proftpd.conf. If proftpd's default directory has been changed via this directive, ftpwho must either be recompiled, or this option must be used in order to find proftpd's scoreboard. So yeah, sometimes you gotta point it where the scoreboard lives. 📍
  • -o, --outform format — Specify an output format. Currently, three formats are supported: compat, oneline and json. The compat format is used for backward compatibility. The oneline format causes all of the fields for a session to be displayed on a single line, for ease of line-based searches (e.g. grep). The json format emits all of the information as a JSON object. Pick your fighter. ✨
  • -v, --verbose — Reports additional information for each connection, such as the remote host and current working directory. More tea, more details. 🍵
  • -S, --server server-name — Specify the ServerName for a specific virtual host. If used, ftpwho will only show session information for the given virtual host. One vhost at a time, okay? 👑
