If it's on a UNIX system, try ps -ef |grep ftp or http (options may be different on your OS - try ps -ef). That will give you the number of connections for ftp or http normally

% ps -ef|grep -c ftp

% ps -ef|grep -c http

And please read the Rules. You posted the same question twice.

if we are talking about Apache when the amount of httpd processes doesn't correlate directly to the amount of users connected. For example, the idle apache server has some httpd processes launched already.

thanks for the reply , I tried the solution ,but even though there are no users connected to the ftp server it gives a value 2 and on the http server it gives a value 1.
and also i wrote the program using the given solution , i used the system("ps -ef|grep -c ftp > somefile") inside my program ,when i saw the output in the filet it had a value 3 , when no users were connected and if i used the same command on the prompt i get the value 2 how is this possible, please help me

And in the case of HTTP server there is no change like the above if no users are connected it gives the value 1

try this one to give you actual connections at the time the sample was taken ...
Code:
netstat -a | awk '/EST/ && (/ftp/ || /http/)'
