FTP server: Limiting bandwidth per user

Post by Kinney Baughm » Wed, 04 Sep 2002 09:35:35



Hi,

I'd like to set up an FTP server on a Redhat box, offering limited
downloads per user on a monthly basis.

Is there FTP software out there that has this capability built in?  Or
do I have to write a program that monitors the megabytes of downloads
per user and then shuts down the account until the next month?

Thanks.

Wow!  Impressive list of features especially the integration with
MySQL, the database I was planning to use for this project.

Thanks for the pointer.  I will check it out immediately.

1. IP Bandwidth Limiting per user

I'm trying to find a way to limit a number of users bandwidth.

Our setup is an internal private IP network that runs through a Linux box
setup with ipchains masquerading out to the Internet.

Is there a way to limit bandwidth per machine or per user on the Linux box?
I thought I had read that this kind of QoS was possible in the new 2.2
kernel but I've been unable to find any information on it and would
appreciate any pointers, link, or suggestions.

Thanks,

DJ
