No such thing is available in retrospect. You have to plan ahead and script or log all ftp sessions BEFOREHAND if you want to know where a file came from via ftp. IF you are logging ftp, you can use the mtime of the file to search ftp logs for who was active then.

There are various apps to help monitor your system - daily activities, user accounting,
network traffic, and so on.
