.logout/.bash_logout option using sftp and/or ftp??

[corey_s]

Ok, I'm trying to figure out a way to execute a program when a users logs out of an sftp and/or an ftp session.

Anyway of doing this?

That heavyly depends on your ftp server. I recommend you take a look at it's documentation to see if there is such an option.

I have spent time looking into the server config options for ssh ( for sftp ) and proftpd, but was unsuccessfull; which is why I'm asking here.

Here's what I'm trying to setup:

#1: <user> logs into server via sftp ( or ftp ), and uploads some content/media.

#2: <user> logs out when finished.

#3: when the user logs out, an rsync is initiated to mirror whatever may have been uploaded to another machine.


It's #3 that I'm trying to figure how to get done. It would be easy with ssh or telnet, but s/ftp is posing difficulty - I don't know whether I have simply been unable to find the correct option or whether it is just not possible. If it's not possible through config options, then I need to figure out some other way, perhaps monitoring w/utmp with a script/daemon or something?

Any helpfull ideas or pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
