Hello all,
After a lot of testing, I was able to figure out the previous questions I had ( upload/download rate is in bytes per second, concurrent login permissions is per user account/login). I am setting up the FTP server to get file information from a database according to user account, but stream data from an IBM IFS filesystem, and all of that is working beautifully on my test server now. I used the code provided by Brett M. Bergquist (discussed in thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01185.html) Thanks A TON Brett, you saved me untold amounts of work. I even managed to control/close all of the data and database connections to IFS and the Database (which are on the same server, but separate from the server used for Apache FTP Server), so that the number of established sockets remains the same after several logins/downloads/disconnects. I can provide this code if anyone else is interested. What I need to do next is set up the production environment that this FTP server will operate in. There is an outward facing server in the DMZ which users will connect to, but the database access and processing needs to be done on the application server, behind the firewall. Only the application server can connect to the database and IFS. Does anyone have any ideas on how to set this up with Apache FTP server? Some type of FTP front-end to handle the connections, and then pass all the commands to the application server, and receive all the responses and filestreams, etc. Thanks again for all of your help (and the mail archive), many of the answers to the questions I had were found there. -Brad The information contained in and transmitted with this Email may be privileged, proprietary, confidential and protected from disclosure.
