FTP / SMTP Bandwidth

[kraken17]

How can I monitor FTP / SMTP bandwidth. I have a huge discrepancy between what the switch at Godaddy says, and what my Cpanel says.

I would also like to implement an FTP bandwidth limit - is this also possible??

[kraken17]

I installed NTOP onto my dedicated server. It seems to work to advise me where I might be loosing bandwidth. If anyone else can come up with a better idea, please let me know.

I'm having the same problem.

I have a user that only have mailman lists. Many of them. His stats never grow. Quota and Bandwidth.

Something may be wrong here. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

Can you please tell me how you have managed to install ntop? I have tried it, but keep getting the following error message:

so it seems that the rrdtool that yum wants to install doesn't like the ruby & perl versions installed by cPanel. How did you get around this?
