Because that mess up with other user's ftp activities. Also because I |
| 12 |
don't get the knowledge which folder the user I am watching is in (I |
| 13 |
could tell this by looking at the log backwards and find his last 'cd' |
| 14 |
command, but it's more convenient to look it just on the UI). There are |
| 15 |
other functions that is convenient on the UI but not on the commandline, |
| 16 |
e.g. number of concurrent connection a user have is directly on the UI |
| 17 |
on Serv-U but with vsftpd I have to run some smart combination of |
| 18 |
grep/sed/awk to get this info, and can be difficult to get it in real |
| 19 |
time. Also consider information you cannot get from reading the log, |
| 20 |
e.g. find out who is taking the biggest share of download badnwidth |
| 21 |
right the moment your user complain being too slow. |
