Question FTP speed limitation

Can you please help me with next script:

It should put some 1-day-old files from local directory to ftp server, but speed should be decreased down to 5 mb/s.

Any ideas?

Yes, maybe there is any utlility to control outgoing ftp speed, or it can be done just with 'ftp' utility in someway... i really cant get how to do it.


actually it should be like this:

put (./one-day-old-files) (ftp-adress) (speed=5mbs) ->>>>JUST FOR UNDESTANDING what exactly i need to be done.

In the /etc/proftpd.conf insert this line:
Code:
TransferRate RETR,STOR,APPE,STOU 2000

This will limit ftp speed to 2 megabyte per second.
After changing the file you should restart the proftpd service:
/etc/init.d/proftpd restart

Might work.. never tried myself Smilie
