...this is not really a "pragmatic" problem. You are using an FTP server 
that aims to be simple and light. VSFTPD does not have any tools to 
provide you with usage, to my knowledge.

* ProFTPD, on the other hand, has utility programs (ftpwho, ftpcount, 
ftptop) that read the scoreboard and display the information you are 
looking for. Security record of PROFTPD:

* PureFTPD has a utility (pure-ftpwho) that will also display the 
information you are looking for. Security record of PUREFTPD:

HTH.
