FTP Monitoring - ReadyNAS R6
I would like to see an App for ReadyNAS R6 for Monitoring Active FTP connections. There is already a nice PHP utility out there to do this called PHPFTPWHO. Since R6 comes with a PHP addon and if the logging is configured correctly under FTP settings, all the information needed to make a nice web interface for Active FTP connections is there. As I am not a software developer it is beyond my skill, however I have seen that Poussin had already created an addon in the past for this but it has vanished with R6. I would greatly appreciate it if one of you find coders could make this happen. It should be a simple matter of parsing the proftpd.log file and exporting the data to a nice Web format.
I currently have an FTPS server configured and would very much like to see who is accessing it and how often, so a history funtion would also be nice. Maybe something that recorded the logons providing date and time of the logons / logouts and perhaps a list of the files that were downloaded / uploaded.

or something similar for Active Connections. All of this information is included in the /var/log/proftpd.log file. I am not sure how the history feature could be configured, and a defineable refresh rate would also be nice so you can set how often the data is updated.
Anyway, this is my request.
