Hi I'm running proftpd 1.3.0 in a very basic config. No anonymous or
virtual hosts.

I'm running into issues with users that have pipes as big or even bigger
than the server's causing congestion.

I checked the docs on bandwidth control here:

http://www.proftpd.org/localsite/Use...nked/x950.html

But RateReadBPS, RateWriteBPS and even the discontinued Bandwidth
directives are not recognized by the server, meaning they cause a fatal
error.

The docs at the "userguide" above seem a bit unclear to me...can somebody
clue me in as to what I need to do?

Thanks in advance!

The userguide is a bit out of date at this point (any volunteers to help
work on it?), but I think this is what you might be looking for:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directiv...nsferRate.html

The TransferRate directive replaced the previous Rate* configuration
directives.

Hope this helps,
TJ

It did help, thanks! I put:

TransferRate RETR,STOR,APPE,STOU 1.1

and the server didn't seem to mind. Question: Is it safe to assume that
that directive effectively limits sessions to roughly 1.1 Mb/s and not
something like 1.1 Kbps? The docs aren't clear and the older directives
used bits per second, not mega or kilobites...
