Well, if you save to a file named capture.file
tethereal -r capture.file -z io,phs -R tcp.port==0
will display a neat little table of protocol statistics on the command
line, that you could feed to a perl script or such, but why would you
want to do that?  You'd have to capture every packet in order to find
out how much data is being transferred, which could make the capture
file several times bigger that the actual ftp server...

You're probably going to be much better off using some sort of log file
analyzer, like AWStats (free) or Sawmill (commercial.)
