Ummm Instead of having a new machine, you *can* setup a jail = environment specifically for ftp, divert(with nat) everything ftp'ish to = the jail's ip address and just bandwidth limit the jail. -D -----Original Message----- From: Fernando Gleiser [mailto:fgleiser@cactus.fi.uba.ar] Sent: 04 October 2002 21:46 To: greg Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dummynet & ports On Fri, 4 Oct 2002, greg wrote: > So if i did something like use wu-ftpd and use the "passive ports" > directive in > /etc/ftpaccess then i would be able to control the passive ports used > and then pipe them with dummynet? Yes. And no :). By doing that you can limit the bandwidth used by people who access *your* ftp, but you can't control which ephemeral port will bew chosen by a *remote* ftpd (ie, ftp.freebsd.org) because that is daemon/OS dependant. The best solution I've found is to install a dedicated proxy server for FTP/HTTP and then limit the traffic for that proxy server. But you need an extra machine for that.
