SFTP max concurrent connection

breaktime123 · 02-01-2009, 11:57 AM

Hi All,

I want to limit the number of simultaneous sftp connections to my RedHat 4 server. I believe OpenSSH had no options to set this limit.

Please give some directions how to accomplish this.

1/ Max sftp concurrent connections is 10
2/ The server will reject the 11th sftp connection, then send the message to client "SFTP server too busy - Please try again later"

Thank you !

"iptables -m limit" with a burst of say 10?

As far as I know you can't barge into client - server conversations like that. And please don't crosspost threads.
