Ftp Performance Settings; Authentication - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

does not allow this directory to be writable for all users. The subdirectory upload
with write permissions for anonymous users is created instead.
NOTE
The pure-ftpd server allows the FTP directory for anonymous users to be
writable. Make sure you removed the write permissions in the directory that
was used with pure-ftpd before switching back to the vsftpd server.

28.3 FTP Performance Settings

In the FTP Performance Settings set the parameters which affect the load on the FTP
server. Max Idle Time is the maximum time (in minutes) the remote client may spend
between FTP commands. In case of longer inactivity, the remote client is disconnected.
Max Clients for One IP determines the maximum number of clients which can be con-
nected from a single IP address. Max Clients determines the maximum number of clients
which may be connected. Any additional clients will get an error message.
The maximum data transfer rate (in KB/s) is set in Local Max Rate for local authenti-
cated users, and in Anonymous Max Rate for anonymous clients respectively. The default
value for the rate settings is 0, which means unlimited data transfer rate.

28.4 Authentication

In the Enable/Disable Anonymous and Local Users frame of the Authentication dialog,
you are able to set which users are allowed to access your FTP server. You can grant
access only for anonymous users, only for authenticated users with accounts on the
system or for both types of users.
If you want to allow users to upload files to the FTP server, check Enable Upload in
the Uploading frame of the Authentication dialog. Here you are able to allow uploading
or creating directories even for anonymous users by checking the respective box.
