Tail a file / show only last n lines

Description

Some users can only access their files via FTP and don't want to waste bandwidth downloading log files which can be MBytes in size every few minutes.

How about a mechanism to tail a file? Right-click and select "tail", which would open up a resizable window that would constantly show the last x lines of the file. It would use the same login settings that it used to get in via FTP. I would use this *all* the time.

(Example for a perl script: http://hamstersoup.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/ftptail/ )
