Linux
Windows has several FTP servers that allow me to specify a ratio. The user must upload before they are able to download. (Divx, vqf, mp3, etc) Is there a similar option with wu-ftpd or any other Linux based FTP server? And where can I find instructions for configurating it?
Please don't make me run Windows... :)
Kev.
ProFTPd is what you want. Don't bother with wu-ftpd; it's got too many security issues. ProFTPd does support ratios as well. It uses an Apache-like directive system in its configuration file, so you can customize settings per domain if you're supporting more than one on your server. Check it out at http://www.proftpd.com/. There's a ratio-specific entry in the FAQ as well; read it at http://www.proftpd.net/docs/proftpdfaq-5.html#ss5.10.
Hope this helps!
Hi!
Well Proftpd is nice, but if running ratios and stuff on an ftp you should really go with glftpd.
It's one of the better ftp deamons around for this kind of stuff, it can run as a stnadalone ftp server separated from /etc/passwd, it has it's own and it also has a administration tool that can be run from a windows machine remotley.
It has group access and a privilige system enabling you to really customize everything.
Might be a little harder to learn at first, but much better.
Here is a link.
