Concurrent Logins

hi.

is it possible to do a second login to the ftp server after a first one
has
been initiated and a large file is being uploaded? i am trying to
figure
out a way to get the bytes of the file being uploaded real-time and i
thought
a way might be to do a second login, take a snapshot of the amount of
bytes
that have been uploaded so far, and return that number to the web
server. this
would be a background thread that repeats this process a number of
times until
the file has been completely uploaded.

does anybody see problems in this approach?

thanks.
