script to be run after every FTP transfer
Hello everyone,

we are running VSFtpd as FTP Server on Redhat AS 5. I would like to have a script to be run immediately after every FTP transfer. Is is possible (or with any other FTP Server?).

I thought of writing a script to monitor if FTP transfer happening and run the required-script after FTP transfer finishes.

Pl advise.

TIA
Prvn

Never heard of this, to start a script right after a ftp transfer, may be you want to share what your need here...

Will the ftp log good enough for you

As timontt said...log entries are an easy key. Interesting requirement. I'd be willing to help with internals as this sounds like a pretty good idea in general.
