WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (September 2008)

The syntax for treating UIDs and GIDs as guests is as follows:
guestuser <username> [ username ... ]
realgroup <groupname> [ groupname ... ]
realuser <username> [ username ... ]
• Upload and Download Ratios
You can set the upload and download ratio to limit the user’s ability to upload
and download files. By default, a ratio is not set.
The syntax for setting the upload and download ratio is as follows:
ul-dl-rate <rate> [ class ...]
dl-free <filename> [ class ...]
dl-free-dir <dirname> [ class ...]
Example 1-5 The ul-dl-rate Clause
An example for the ul-dl-rate clause is as follows:
ul-dl-rate 2
For every 1 byte of data that is uploaded, the ftp server allows 2 bytes of data to
be downloaded.
• The nice Clause
The nice clause allows you to modify the nice value of the ftpd server if the
remote user is a member of the named class. If you do not specify the class, then
use nice-delta as the default adjustment to the ftpd server process’ nice value.
The default nice value adjustment is used to adjust the nice value of the server
process only for those users who do not belong to any class for which a class-specific
nice directive exists in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
The syntax for the nice clause is as follows:
nice <nice-delta> [ class ]
NOTE: You can specify only negative values for nice-delta. Positive values
or 0 are ignored.
• The defumask Clause
The defumask clause allows you to set umask for a file created by the ftp daemon
if the remote user is a member of the named class. You can enter multiple
defumask entries in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. If you do not specify a
class for a defumask entry, then use umask as the default for classes that do not
have a defumask entry.
The syntax for the defumask clause is as follows:
defumask umask [ class ]
