limit space for a ftp folder

[marti...@hotmail.com]

running iis6.0 on a win 2k3 server, i want to limit the space for a
folder OR a user. Every user on this server has its own ftp folder and
i want to limit each to a few hundred MB.
I tried to do this with quotas but this didn't work. Even though
windows shows the right amount of used space and it is already more
than allowed, the user can still upload files via FTP.

Anyone knows a way to do this with IIS or any suggestions for a 3rd
party software that can handle this and isn't to expensive?

Mm.. last time I did a test using windows quota, it does work.
You should valid your disk quota setup for the user in the particular volume
first, post this to windows managment newsgroup.
also look at the ownership of those upload file, is it belong to the correct
user?

The quotas as such do work (locally or via mapped drive), but NOT if a
user accesses a folder on the drive with activated quotas via FTP.
If I connect to the server via FTP as user A and upload 100MB, the used
space for this user in the quotas tab on the server is shown as 100MB.
If I limit the space to 100MB and try to upload 150MB, it works. I can
even upload 500MB or more. But if I connect to this Folder via netbios
or try to copy something into this folder locally, it doesn't work.

so my question is, how can i limit the space allowed for a user (or
folder, as it is the same in this case) if it is accessed via FTP
(using IIS 6.0 on W2k3).

The only native option you have is quotas. If you need more than that
provides, you need third party software,

Weird. that is not what I have see. I don't have the environment to test
now.
did you change the quota during those activity ?

Can you create a new user with quota of 50mb in the ftp volume, then try to
upload a 60mb file....
works ?
