your server is a gateway, or ftp server?
if it is a gateway, there are some how-tos.

i'm guessing you're using vsftpd, right???

take alook at these options:

# The maximum data transfer rate permitted, in bytes per second, for
# local authenticated users. The default is 0 (unlimited).
#
#local_max_rate=7200

# The maximum data transfer rate permitted, in bytes per second, for anonymous
# authenticated users. The default is 0 (unlimited).
#
#anon_max_rate=7200

Its a normal server having around 50 domains configured by directadmin; lemme have a look above mentioned urls.

yeah i already have search at www.proftpd.org; but so far this seems to be not possible

Are you sure you've searched proftpd docs thoroughly?

I think i have been answered correctly; but there is a little confusion.

Could you please tell me in which file i have to look/set for this directive ?

TransferRate [ cmds] [ kilobytes-per-sec[:free-bytes]] [ ["user"|"group"|"class" expression]]

says in the middle:

Quote:

Context
server config, <VirtualHost>, <Global>, <Anonymous>,
<Directory>, .ftpaccess

so that means you can put it in your proftpd config file, .ftpaccess and under also under <VirtualHost>, <Global>, <Anonymous>,
<Directory> directives.
For example if you want to limit the download rate of user "bob" to 20KB throughout the server you can put:

Code:

TransferRate RETR 20 user bob
