With that you can create as many virtual users as you like, and restrict access/speed/etc to fit your needs. Your clients will connect over SSL FTP, which i assume is acceptable. A detailed guide is here: http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/networking/pure-ftpd_virtual_users.php Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Ghirai. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
