I wouldn't bet on this (excerpts from online man page):
ftptop - display running status on proftpd server connections  

Moreover, google reported many threads about people switching to proftpd to
get benefit of those ftptop/ftpwho/etc. tools. It remain 3 possibilities now:
either you find someone who already did a ftptop-like thing, or you
program/script it, or send a feature request to the author..
