User limits on ftp speed

[Peter Meloncelli]

Hi
I hope that someone can help me here. Im running Ubuntu with pureadmin
acting as my ftp server. The main purpose of pureadmin is to transfer
video files within my home network (PC's connected to the same
router). Unfortunately I have a problem that if I let ftp operate at
full speed (100M) I get errors in the transferred file. I found that
with my windows server these errors did not occur if I dropped the
speed down to 20M (I used filezilla server for this).
I have tried limiting the speed by limiting the user speed under the
pureadmin user accounts however this does not seem to have any affect.
If anyone could help I would appreciate it greatly.
Thankyou
Peter

This is weird. Sounds like you have a hardware problem somewhere (bad
drivers, broken router, broken memory on one of the machines, broken
disks or something similar).

You could try to set them manually through the pure-pw command line:

pure-pw usermod TheUserName -t 20000 -T 20000 -m

(Replace 'TheUserName' with the actual username of the user you're
setting the limit for and also make sure you remember the "-m" at the
end, it rebuilds the db so that the changes are applied)

You can also see the settings for a user by running:

pure-pw show TheUserName
