network monitoring software

[rookie1010]

Hello
I was wondering if there is any network monitoring software around.

I mean say if isomeone was to copy files to his/her A drive or USB stick would a network admin know about it

how about if i disconnect from the network and then copy the files, would a network admin know about it.

if there is a software/method on the net, can you point me to its url?

You can get some sniffer programs, that tell of network traffic. Also you can get IDS software (Intrustion Detection System).

i was wondering about a situation where i have a local user saving data from his hard disk to a USB drive or an A drive,

is there a way i could monitor the transfers of a dozen users ?
