PureAdmin - Graphical FTP Server Management Utility

About

PureAdmin is a graphical tool used to make the management of PureFTPd a little easier.
It uses the GTK+2.x widgets for its GUI and thus are not dependent on a specific desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE. It is, however, designed with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines in mind so it should integrate nicely with at least GNOME.

PureAdmin was inspired by KcmPureFTPd which is a graphical tool for KDEs control-center but the goal of PureAdmin is somewhat different than that of KcmPureFTPd.

My goal is to create an all-in-one application that makes management and monitoring of a ftp-server as easy as possible. Although I believe that no control should be taken from the administrator, PureAdmin is there to provide help and sane default-values for those who are not familiar with all the functions of the server. An administrator could use PureAdmin as an alternative - or even better - as a complement to the text-mode utilities distributed with PureFTPd.

So, to summon up the previous two paragraphs. The main goals of PureAdmin and the reason for its existence are:

Stand-alone application, not dependent on GNOME/KDE/<INSERT FAVORITE D.E. HERE>
Nice, human friendly GUI with easy to use and easy to understand options and controls.
Keep control of the server in the hands of the administrator.

Where are we now - Current features

User-manager where you can add, edit or remove users.
Activities viewer which lets you view what's happening on the server. (downloads, uploads and connected users)
Log file viewer that presents the log file for the server
Real-time controlling of the server - kicking users, closing connections and starting/stopping of server.

Where are we heading - Planned features

Server configuration - Configure all possible aspects of the server.
Automatic startup-script generator (ala KcmPureFTPd). This is a major "maybe"
User import and export
Perhaps more (optional) integration with GNOME without making it a dependency.
