email notification of ftp transfers

[Bret Stern]

Thanks.

How would the ftp transfer event/trigger be
monitored (trapped) to drive the mail message?

Is this an option defined in sendmail.cf or
a daemon started on system boot, or even an
existing running service?

I'll google mutt for some usage.

Regards,

Bret
