Hello there,

Some users are using ftp from a PC with an IP dynamic adress (via DHCP)
to transfer some very big file. Is there any way to identify the user
and the host where he's connected ?

Thanks

Thierry

Only if the DHCP server logs which PC (ethernetaddress) got which IP
address for the host, and then logs of who was logged in there for the user.

Very shaky grounds, any single failure will have you pointing fingers at
the wrong person.

Anonymous ftp is really anonymous.. entering the correct e-mail address is
only courtesy.
