Another thing to try is using the 'last |grep ftp' command,

what this will do is show who was logged into ftp,  and if they are still logged in.
[at least in Solaris 8, no FBSD box handy, please correct if I'm wrong]

Another note, using the 
device snp
[snoop device to spy on other peoples sessions]

Is it possible to spy on an ftp session?

. . . .|> In OpenBSD you can supply a switch to view who is connected via ftp

. . . .|
. . . .|Don't use FTP for non-public file transfers.  It's not secure.
. . . .|
. . . .|> Is this possible in FreeBSD?
. . . .|
. . . .|No, AFAIK.  This works, though:
. . . .|
. . . .|  $ ps ax|grep ftpd|grep -v grep|awk -F": " '{print $3}'|egrep -v ^\$
. . . .|
. . . .|If you like, put something like that in a script, and call it
. . . .|'whoftp'.
