Topic: Maximum Simultaneous FTP Connections

[chaloner]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on the number of FTP users at any one time? If so, what it may be, and if and how it could be changed?

Thanks, appreciate any advice on this...

The defaults are 40 total connections with a maximum of 4 per client IP address.

Here's a post with more info: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37356.0

To change the defaults you'd need to modify /var/service/ftp/run and possibly also /var/service/ftp/peers/0 and /var/service/ftp/peers/local

The ".../run" file is not templated, but the two ".../peers/..." files are.

Thanks a lot for the quick response... I will be testing it out...

I needed a few more connections from one IP for some IP cameras. For others I provide the small bits if script to modify their ftp needs.

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/ftp/peers/local
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/ftp/peers/0
echo C10 > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/ftp/peers/local/ConcurrencyPerIP
echo C10 > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/ftp/peers/0/ConcurrencyPerIP
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/service/ftp/peers/local
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/service/ftp/peers/0
echo "Now edit CONCURRENCYREMOTE and PER_IP_INSTANCES in /var/service/ftp/run"

This seems to work...
