Is it possible to use another IP for ftp-server? If you have
ftp-server in another device, you could use shaper to limit badwidth.

yes, while that's a solution (the 2.2.x and later kernels have full support
for QoS - CBQ and some leaf discipline algorithm like SFQ would be your
friends) you can simply use proftpd which has support for per-directory,
per-virtual server bandwidth limiting.

Bandwidth Limiting ftpd?

[Todd Suess]

Does anyone know of an FTPD for debian that supports limiting
upstream/downstream bandwidth on either a system wide or
(preferred) user/group basis?  I am currently using a cable modem
with a very high downstream rate, but an upstream rate limited to 
128k, so if I have several users logged in download at 5k/sec, it
seriously limits my downstream speed because the return packets
cannot go as fast as the downstream would like them to.  Most of my
users download overnight, so if I limited them to 3k/sec, and most of
the time I have at most 2 ppl downloading at the same time, that would
still leave me with upstream bandwidth to play with.  Any suggestions
would be helpful.

Regards,

Todd
