Is there any way to monitor vsftpd traffic? Like ftpwho?
Monitoring at the packet level? .... tcpdump port 21
Other points/levels of monitoring depend on how you have vsftpd
confiured:
At the login level you can monitor /var/log/messages
tail -f /var/log/messages | grep pam_userdb
if you have virtual users set up.
At the file transfer level you can monitor your xferlog file if
you've configured this logging mechanism.
Also at the login level you can set up vsftpd to run under xinetd
and log user, host, etc by watching /var/log/secure
tail -f /var/log/secure | grep vsftpd
