dummynet(4) will probably do what you want unless you need to do it
per user.

Can be done if you use inetd. Just set up a rule limiting certian
users to certian pipes. :)

You can do this with pure-ftpd's UserBandwidth and

Help me ObwanKnobi your my only hope.

2004-08-16 Thread tech39

I have spent many usless hours looking at Freebsd.org, google.com and 
yahoo.com in an attempt to find a ftpd that I can cap / choke the 
outgoing bandwith.

Do you know of any such animals?

Reading the man pages for ftpd is like trying to read and understand 
Klingon.

Thanks

DS

Taken from the vsftpd website FAQ:

Q) Help! Does vsftpd support bandwidth limiting?
A) Yes. See vsftpd.conf.5 man page and investigate settings such as
anon_max_rate and local_max_rate.

(That is, install vsftpd and run man 5 vsftpd.conf.  Alternately, read the 
HTML version at http://tinyurl.com/5qnd5 .)  Never tried this myself, but 
I've heard good things about vsftpd in general.

No.  But look at the bandwidth shaping capabilities of IPFW.  It _can_ do
what you want.

 Klingon.

I disagree.  I think the ftpd manual page is very clear and to the point.
Is English your native language?

This is generally not an ftp daemon function.  Bandwidth limiting may
be done through a firewall.

Yes, ProFTPD (ftp/proftpd in ports) will let you do this flexibly.  See
the TransferRate directive used in proftpd.conf for details.  (E.g.,
http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_TransferRate.html)

Cheers,

Paul.
