  Status of Client Connections in FTP IIS5.1 Reply Contact Hi All,   I am programatically administrating IIS5.1 server for FTP , I would like to know how can we extract the status information of the clients connected to the server such as active client connections.    I am using visual C# , I would like to know how this can be achieved programatically from IIS5.1? Any pointers on sample code or some code snippets on this issue will be much appreciated.  Thanks

  Re: Status of Client Connections in FTP IIS5.1 Reply Contact You can query the perfmonce counters for FTP from a .net application. The right counter to monitor would be Current Connections under the FTP Service object. The following code produces expected results for me. class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter ftpCounter = new System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter("FTP Service", "Current Connections", "Default FTP Site", true); while (true) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);Console.WriteLine("Current FTP connections = {0}",ftpCounter.NextValue()); } } }   For more information on using Perfmon counters from C# review http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.performancecounter(VS.80).aspx

The protocol and the function details of how to do this is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc233834(PROT.10).aspx but calling it from .net would require some PInvoke's and a lot of research Not a straight away solution, though not impossilbe
