Hi musiscore.

You can find this with the ftp log menu that shows global number of connexions and details it for each login

I examened the log and will reading your answer I realized I ask the wrong question. I want to know if it is possible to see who is loged on to the FTP server and then, if necessary, disconnect that user ?
I use my FTP server to store automaticly regerated backups of my and my customers websites. Would be nice to see if the backup deamons are connected and if necessary disconnect them.
B.t.w. Thanks for the very quick response and I realy like the firmware.

Today, you can't do that with the web-interface.

But with Putty, you can :
Use the command "ftpwho" which make a users list for each connexion :
N°PID loginname (and other time information or status).

So if you set a login used only by your backup daemon (ie. ftpbackup), ftpwho will show you if the daemon is logged.

To stop the backup connexion, you have to kill all process used by the backup daemon with this command :
Code: Select all
kill -9 n°pid
. You must repeat for each process (each n°pid used with the backup login)
