I was wondering if a root user can create another user with a specified limit of data to download from server (i.e.: from Filezilla).

Server is Debian 7

  • AFAIK OpenSSH (the most common SSH daemon) has no built-in rate-limiting functions. So you are left with trying to hack together something that will be executed after the user connects. You might be able to get pam to execute some commands when a user is authorized to apply traffic shaping rules. – Zoredache Nov 26 '14 at 21:38

    Are you looking to rate limit the connection or limit the total amount of data the user can download? – Rex Nov 26 '14 at 22:17
  • I'm looking to limit the connection, but limit the total amount of data will work as well . Thanks – Naramsim Nov 27 '14 at 07:21
  • What protocol are you going to use for download (SFTP/FTP)? What SFTP/FTP server are you using? – Martin Prikryl Nov 27 '14 at 07:26
  • I use only sftp, i'm running debian 7, and I use the default sftp server preinstalled – Naramsim Nov 27 '14 at 07:29
