Topic: Throttle Upload Bandwidth for a single user

I need to throttle bandwidth for a single user that is uploading to the server.  Could someone give me an example of how you would accomplish this in the config file?

Thanks

Hi, did you look on documentation ?

Examples are shown on those pages.

Re: Throttle Upload Bandwidth for a single user

I've seen this example before.  What i'm looking for is "an example of how to restrict a "specific" username to a certain amount of bandwidth usage." 

I believe the example below is for restricting the amount of bandwidth an individual can download for all individual users of the system.  Then also a total limit for all users.

# Download restrict only one session; GlobalDownload restrict global download.

<Default>
Home /home
GlobalDownload 200k
Download 10k
</Default>

I notice this section however....

context
   Default, Group, IPrange, User

I suspect the user section is what i'm looking for...however my config file doesn't contain this section.  I'd like to see an example for instance of how to restrict a user with the username:   "joeuser" to only upload at 25 k/s  if this is possible...which I suspect it is.

Thanks

Hi,

You're right !

See this sample:

<User my_limited_user>
        Download 10k
</User>
