If I had the chance to run any FTP client I wanted, I'd run Bulletproof FTP Server (which used to be G6 FTP Server). It's awesome! You can see what's currently downloading, and by whom, how fast the xfer is going, how long it has left, and you get a nice report of all previous transfers. You can set upload/download ratios, per user limits, and designate which files don't count against those limits. You mean realtime-reporting? maybe in GUI? This is not the way, Linux does its things. And it isn't useful at all. You can tail -f /var/log/xferlog for realtime information, of course without bandwidth usage, but wouldn't it be a waste of bandwidth, if you watched this information from a remote place? If you want to see the actual traffic, try Etherape, it shows all ongoing connections in a graph (very cool), and in a table (with detailed bandwidth usage).
But this doesn't have to do with ftp. hth Markus -- _____________________________ /"\ Markus Gaugusch ICQ 11374583 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign markus@gaugusch.dhs.org X Against HTML Mail / \
