Bandwidth control on FTP
I've got some files on an anonymous FTP server that I'd like to open up for
download to users of some online forums. But I don't want to let them
completely suck my bandwidth dry. I'm running proftpd 1.2.4.
I see in the documentation there are bandwidth limits like this:
RateReadBPS 81920
RateReadFreeBytes 5120
RateReadHardBPS on
But that will limit each client to n bps, regardless if they are on 56k or
T3. I don't want to do this; instead, I want to allow say 1Mbps of bandwidth
for upload and let whoever has the big pipes get the fast downloads.
Is there a way to do this? Switching ftp daemons is not out of the question,
as long as it is "free".
