Try
Code:
ps -ef|grep ftpd

This should show actual connections in progress, but it is jsut a snapshot, of course.



I hope that this helps

Not tried on AIX but this work on HP-UX because ftp sessions do not appear in utmp (used by "who") but do appear in "wtmp" (used by last).
Code:
last | grep " ftp "|grep "still logged in"
