    Hello Hector,

    A small feature that would be interesting for FTP connection
    this would be to disallow several ftp connections from the same IP address at the same time.

    You see, I get many persons who connect anonymously via ftp , but basically they connect many many times because they use some kind of download manager such as Getright etc.

    I would like to allow only 1 connection from the same IP address at a given time.

    Maybe this is already implemented in Wins, I don't know after all......

    Arnaud

    How about limiting by anonymous access that is already there?

    Or you want it on a per user basis? - same IP? I can use 10 machines and login with 10 different IPs so you really want to do this by user name.

    You can do this writing a FTP-LOGON.WCC wcBASIC module that you can use to record your connections and IP's and/or user's on line.

    Do you have wcBASIC? Maybe someone can write it for you.

    Well, actualy, if I look at my log file, there are many connections
    always coming from the same IP at the same time.

    This is normal, this is a feature in some download manager programs
    that connect many time to the same source in order to get a file
    presumably more quickly.

    I recall when I was using a FTP server software called Serv-u some
    years back that there was an option for each user or each group of
    users to disallow more than X conections from the same IP at the same
    time.

    There was also a nice option to limit FTP bandwith to X KB/S for a
    user or a group of users.

    If there is a way in future versions of Wins to have these kind of
    features in the FTP server configuration, this would be very nice.

    Its called Bandwidth Throttling.

    The upcoming version v6.0 now supports FTP and WEB throttling.
