NCftpd 2.7.1 > limiting bandwidth per user

[g0ug0u]

Hi there,

Do you know if this is possible with this version ? As I don't have access to begin-new-user-class command.

Unknown variable "begin-new-user-class" on line 231 of configuration file.
Exiting.

Freshmeat's project page for it says that you can use a built-in qos to limit down/up stream. I didn't see any docs there (or on the project's main site for that matter). Is this the method you have tried? Have you double-checked your config? It's possible that you have a typo somewhere near that definition...Also...have you seen other configs with this working? If so, copy them and work from there.

Remember: Get it working. Then get it working right.

yup, I finally upgraded to latest version, first step I had to do to get it working.
Now I have another problem, but nothing is documented with this FTP server

Syntax error in password record's field #12 (0)

Now i got this in ncftpd logs... Not sure anyone can help.
I'm using my own user's password DB, activated quota.
Field #12 is the "quota option", which is not documented on their website. tryied 0 and 1.. same problem.
Used the ncftpd_edquota, and added manually, no changes either.
Looks like this :
ncftpd_passwd -f /usr/local/etc/ncftpd/userpw.db -a testuserass:555:99::/home/usertest::4000:2800:500:450:0:8:0 -5

But this is working :
ncftpd_passwd -f /usr/local/etc/ncftpd/userpw.db -a test2ass:555:99::/home/usertest::0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -5
Basically, when no quota are activated.


From the client I get :
Command: USER test
Response: 331 User test okay, need password.
Command: PASS ****
Response: 530 Login failed. Have the sysadmin check the misc log.
Error: Disconnected from server
Nothing exiting here either.

Can't really help you there, as that is specific to the ftpd. Why not use vsftpd or something that is more widely-used and documented? Just a suggestion..
