RE: FTP Server
You should definately read the docs and go to www.proftp.org or
proftpd.org.
You can setup an incoming dir with things such as <limit>, etc. Its dead
easy. It'll take a while to set up, but once you're done. No problemo.
150 connections? ha. Easy peasy. I was thinking you'd get loads like
500-1000 users or something. We've gone up to about 200-300 no problem.
Dunno about more.
Seeya!
