# ftpcount(1)

show current number of connections for each proftpd server configuration

## NAME

ftpcount - show current number of connections for each proftpd server configuration

## SYNOPSIS

**ftpcount**

## DESCRIPTION

The **ftpcount** command shows the current number of connections per server and virtualhost/anonymous configuration defined in the proftpd.conf file. Connections spawned by inetd are counted separately from those created by a master proftpd *standalone* server.

## OPTIONS

- **-h,--help**

  Display a short usage description, including all available options.

- **-f,--file** *scoreboard-file*

  Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (configured via the **ScoreboardFile** directive in *proftpd.conf* ).  If proftpd's default directory has been changed via this directive, **ftpcount** must either be recompiled or this option must be used in order to find proftpd's scoreboard.

- **-S,--server** *server-name*

  Specify the ServerName for a specific virtual host.  If used, *ftpcount* will only show the session count for the given virtual host.
