Hi,
I'm having trouble to get RateReadBPS to work on our FTP server.
I need it to limit the maximum bandwith anonymous users who are on their way to suck up most of our bandwidth:-)
According to http://www.proftpd.net/docs/configuration.html#RateReadBPS it should be possible to do this:
User public
Group public
UserAlias anonymous public
UserAlias ftp public
AnonRequirePassword off
UseFtpUsers on
MaxClients 10
RateReadBPS 10000
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir .message
AllowAll
DenyAll
But as I do that, proftp dies with Fatal: unknown configuration directive 'RateReadBPS' in the logs...
Time for an update ?
Any ideas for a painless transition ?
Is there a setback on just updating the server with a new RPM ?
Anyway, help is appreciated.
Bye, Jan

I solved it myself by installing the last version of proftpd.
Hope it isn't needed soon, but who knows what a publication in a magazine may offer...
