from what I can tell, the easiest way would be to monitor the xferlog of the FTP server via some program (i.e. shell script in a read loop on the file) and more or less intelligently send emails based on the logged entries.

You should define your rule set properly in advance - when exactly you want to send an email, to whom… or you’ll generate a flood of emails (DOS attack vector!)
