There is a Linux command "who", which lists logged in users. Not sure if 
it indicates ftp users or not (prob not).

So, if you scripted something with pseudocode along the lines of:

if (who|grep username)
	mail message
	die
else
	die


Make this a cron job, every x minutes (to suit priority of mission).

So the answer is yes, you can email to an address when a user is logged 
in to a given account, if it corresponds with the cron job..

Hope this helps.

Garry.

ps There is, no doubt, 41 better ways. But you asked is it possible, the 
answer is yes.
