folder/bandwith limit?

Majd-GFX · October 12th, 2004, 1:35 AM

hi is there a way for me to put a limit on the bandwidth and size usage of an ftp account?

in a word, no.

on a shared account you have no control over quotas.

If you have a reseller, you can create the account in WHM as a subdomain and control the resources there.

Some checking scripts with crontab can possible do the work

While this could alert you, it won't prevent someone from linking to a file there and downloading it, thus exceeding the bandwidth. Nor will it automatically dis-allow further uploads, unless its a complicated script that can actually interface with Cpanel and change the password on the account when limits are exceeded.

I was thinking only of the size limitations.

You have some statistic data in your tmp folder ... it can be used with crontab to send out some warning or so.
