I'm not sure whether I got your problem understand right.
The 'status'-command is run on C and you need the output on U?
Here are my thoughts:

Run the 'status'-command by a sheduler like cron.
man crontab
look at /etc/cron.daily to get inspiration.
This will be a solution if you don't need to run it at very specific times - after something special happens.

Another idea: If you have a webserver running, create a cgi-script, which generates html, to show the status in your browser.

Instead of ftp you could use 'mailx' and send the result by email.
The ftp- or mailx- job might be started by cron as well.
