Monitoring/administering FTP?

Anyone have any idea what utilities I can use to administer or monitor the built-in FTP server?

Obviously I know how to turn it on and manage (some) accounts, but how does one, say, monitor who's online, terminate connections, etc?

ftpd has a command-line flag `-u` that writes logins to /var/run/utmp which supposedly makes logged in users visible to commands like `who`. (compare with -U which turns this off, the default).

Implement that by editing /etc/xinetd.d/ftp's server-args line.

As for a nice pretty GUI wrapper, I don't know of any but I'd be very surprised if you couldn't find something on VT...even if it's an FTP server itself.
