No, not at all what I want to do. :-) Sorry I wasn't clear on that.
I just want to rate-cap my FTP service at an arbitrary speed (say, 1.0Mbps)
so it doesn't use all of my T1.
If I understand the ProFTPd documentation, it says use RateReadBPS in
conjunction with max users. So, to limit to 1.0Mbps use, I'd do something
like:
RateReadBPS 100000
MaxClients 10
But that will limit 10 users to 100000bps each, total of 1.0Mbps. That is
not what I want. If only one user is connected, I want that user to be able
to DL at 1.0Mbps (obviously, if he is on a fast enough pipe).
Am I completely misunderstanding RateReadBPS?
