Hello list!
Does anyone know of something to use to view active web/ftp/ssh connections? I would want something akin to top running in shell showing user (or ip), number of connections and maybe what file the user is downloading. Basic statistics.
I looked at ntop, but as it seems to me its web based.
Anyone have a nice pointer somewhere?

Tried iftop as suggested by Roger Munoz, (You replied only to me and not the list Roger), but that doesnt give me what user logged in on the FTP (Which is "a must have")
The FTP thing isn't just done with a universal tool like netstat, etc. Only the FTP server knows who's logged on. If your server does not provide for utilities like WU-FTP's "ftpwho" there is nothing you can do about it, except observing/scanning log files. For SSH things are different. "who" will display users logged on. SCP and SFTP sessions will not be listed.
I want to be able to with a quick glance see who's on. I know i can use several different programs and utils to check, bet i really would want one centralized console app, that shows me "all" i need to know up front.
AFAIK, there is no such thing (which would be fantastic, indeed, but
not very realisitic). Only the specific servers will know what's
going on and who is currently connected. You can use a traffic
analyzer/logger/viewer to get the complete picture. Everything else
is left to the tools shipped with a package.
