The simplest solution is a script which monitors the log file and
emails every line which matches a particular expression.
You can do it with e.g.
tail -f /var/log/auth | fgrep -i login | (
while read line ; do
echo "$line" | mail -s 'login notification' root
done
)
except that the buffering performed by tail/fgrep will result in the
messages being delayed for some time.

The ftp(1) manpage lists all of the commands which ftp supports. A
macro definition is just a list of commands.
