track FTP logins

cpanel tracks the ip of the last login but it won't log an FTP login using a FTP program, right? Therefore, how could I track who has been logging into my web site? I have shared hosting.
How could I achieve this ? Maybe programming something using cron? Any ideas?

Ask the hos provider for logs? Can you configure anything like custom log locations in CPanel?
The best solution would be to use a web based file manager and intercept events that way.

The FTP daemon should be writing a log entry whenever someone logs in. I'd be surprised if cPanel isn't reading that log file.
