Clicking on each main category (FTP Server, Secure) will bring a summary page detailing each sub category.

 2 - Options


624x436 (9006 bytes)


Miscellaneous

Client buffer size : buffer size used to transfer data (Default is 16 KB). You can increase this value if you want the server to read/write less often from/to the hard drive when clients transfer.
Domain max log lines : the maximum number of lines which will be kept in memory per log. Note: entering a high value will increase server memory usage and add delay when receiving logs from server.
Service priority : define processor priority of the application (high, normal, low).

Sockets

Receive buffer size : Winsock buffer size (SO_SNDBUF) (do not change unless told to do so by support)
Send buffer size : Winsock buffer size (SO_RCVBUF) (do not change unless told to do so by support)

 3 - Banned files


Like all FTP Server level options, this list will apply to all domains hosted on the server.

624x436 (8003 bytes)


Banned files are files that can't be stored on server.
You can specify file/path mask (?, * supported) : *.jpg, c:\path\images_200?\

Note :
- rules do not apply to download, only upload
- rules also apply when you rename a file

 4 - Transfer speed


624x436 (7893 bytes)


Maximum speed :

Here you can define a speed limit (upload and download) so that the entire server (all your hosted domains) does not exceed the amount of bandwidth you specify.

Download : the maximum speed for server to client transfers.
Upload : the maximum speed for client to server transfers.

 5 - Statistics

 6 - IP access


624x436 (8154 bytes)


The IP access rules will apply to all your domains, that means it will have priority on all domains, so you do not have to add the rules to each domains.
If you define a deny rule at server level and an authorize rule at domain level, server's settings will deny access because of priority.



Defining restriction such as IP access permits you to deny or allow access only to users you trust.
You can enter IP addresses and hostnames.

For example :

+*.gene6.net (alone) allows anyone with a domain name from gene6.net to connect, someone not matching this rule will be denied access.

-*.gene6.net (alone) allows everyone to connect except someone from gene6.net.

Notes:


  • You can use *, ?, [x-y] in IP addresses and hostnames : [192-193].16?.[0-10].*, *.net?.nerim.fr
  • To have domain names resolved at runtime (like myftp.dyndns.org) in the access list, enter the address between parenthesis like this : (myftp.dydns.org)
  • CIDR convention is supported : 192.168.0.0/24 (addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255), 12.23.34.128/29 (addresses in the range 12.23.34.128 - 12.23.34.136)
