📝 SYNOPSIS

ftpwho

📖 DESCRIPTION

The ftpwho command shows process information for all active proftpd connections, and a count of all connected users off of each server. Proftpd sessions spawned from inetd are counted separately from those created by a master proftpd standalone server.

⚙️ OPTIONS

❓ -h, --help

Display a short usage description, including all available options.

📁 -f, --file scoreboard-file

Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (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.

📄 -o, --outform format

Specify an output format. Currently, three formats are supported:

• compat — backward compatibility format
• oneline — all fields for a session on a single line, for ease of line-based searches (e.g., grep)
• json — emits all information as a JSON object

📋 -v, --verbose

Reports additional information for each connection, such as the remote host and current working directory.

🎯 -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.
