how to check if any files are being FTP'ed currently ? both FTP in and FTP out. And is there any system log for all the FTP activities ?
ftp uses a certain port, yes? Now, issue a
netstat -ant tcp | grep ESTABLISHED
and look for connections using that port.
I hope this helps.

If you could tell us what OS (UNIX) exactly you are running, then we can give you a definite answer. NetApp ftp does log all requests, for example. Other ftpd servers do not log anything, except special case errors which go to syslog. The most likely answer is: your ftp does not log. Find and install one that does. Especially if this problem is related to a security issue.
sftp is a much better choice security wise, and it comes with most all UNIXes. It can log events. Give it VERY serious consideration.
