Pureftpd quota's option

[Faces]

Afternoon,

Recently, my service has become to large to allow free range of FTP access, so im restricting FTP accounts to x mb. However, i've just been testing the quota, and it does'nt actually do anything when you go over your limit?

I can upload free'ly, download free'ly, just the same as aswell, except there is a .ftpquota file in the folder.

Which is my next concern.

I set the test folder quota to 5megs. (5 in the quota box) and in the file its as:

3 3030372

I was under the impression the first number is the amount of files, and the second is max size in bytes?

Also, if im a user, i can easily download the file, change the second number, re-upload and have a quota size to my wish.

I have searched, and came up with 4 threads, all useless.

Is this is all one big bug, or even just not developed yet.

Any information appreciated.

PS: Panel Build 10.0.0-EDGE 38

Anyone?

We're having this same issue on our cpanel site. Quotas are ignored and on the FTP accounts screen it says "No accounts have quotas configured". Is there a solution? Every thread I've found here and elsewhere is a dead end. Help?!

If no-one has an idea here, you'll either need to pop over to the pure-ftpd site to investigate further, or seek support from your cPanel license provider or cPanel directly. If it's a reproducable bug over different accounts, log it in bugzilla.

This same issue seems to be limited to certain cpanel users on our servers. Weird.

Woohoo, got it! At least in my case anyway.

The users "etc" folder was missing so the ftp quota setting couldn't write to the "ftpquota" file that resides in there. Guess it won't create the folder automatically.

that doesn't help with virtual FTP users though.
