    Hello,

    I would like to be limited a transfer rate 20k through FTP for each users. I have been installing ProFTP and Pure-FTP, I can use any one. Would anybody know as defining that rate of Transfer per user?

    If your using pure-ftpd then you just need to edit the UserBandwidth field to suite your requirements then restart the FTP server, the config file is /etc/pure-ftpd.conf.

    While using the UserBandwidth field is probably your best and easiest method, another way could be to follow the steps at http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-bandwidth-limit/install.html.
    But I suggest against diving into that unless you know what you're doing. The nice thing about the steps at that link is that you can use it for more than just FTP... for those who care about that sort of thing, anyway.

    ok,

    But I want to limit the bandwidth, for user. The user A the bandwidth limit for 10kb/s, user B will have the limit of 15 kb/s and the users C will have 20kb/s.

    Thanks

    Changing the 'UserBandwidth' field in the Ftp configuration file will effect all users on the server including the Anonymous users.

    I guess you cannot set differnt Ftp transfer rate for each user.

    If anybody knows how to do it, please let us know as well.
