Is it possible to setup ftp accounts that have the ability for the users to view files on the server and upload their own files, but not download anything from the server? If so, how would this be done, if not, then as a 2nd option, do most hosting companies provide the option to disallow downloads on an ftp account if you need to do so, but allow uploads?

Could anyone explain what are the differences between these 3 access types?
The type of access to be granted: 0 = WINSTATION_GUEST_ACCESS

2 = WINSTATION_ALL_ACCES
I've recently hired a new server with the aim of offering FTP backups.
I have Plesk CP but I don't want to use that to create the accounts for these users - i want to use the Plesk license for webhosting customers.
My box is running CentOS with ProFTPd.
The problem i'm having, is locking down SSH access to the Backup customers - if i add an account using "useradd", it is enabled in ProFTPd as I want, and I have set ProFTPd to only allow access to their home dir. However, the users can still log in via SSH and have full access to the box. Ideally, I want to be able to remove these users from SSH access, or if that's not easily possible, not allow them to "cd" above their home dir.
I know it's possible to add their usernames to the SSHd config file under Deny, but is there a more elegant solution (bearing in mind i'm planning to have quite a few of these users)?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to validate a page on my website it says it's invalid because the mime type is incorrect.
If I add this code to the top of the page:

The page then becomes valid.
How can I update the mime type on the server so that I wont have to add this code to every page?
My server is a VPS running Apache with Plesk. I have SSH access.
I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one!
I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage).
This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing.
I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same.
Am I right to go ahead and not worry about this?
I've got mod_deflate set up with Apache with the following line in httpd.conf:
Code:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript
</IfModule>
It works well, for most things.
The issue I'm having is that mod_deflate is compressing binary data, outputted from PHP scripts as well (undesirable).
The script sends a Content-Type: application/octet-stream header, so I'm guessing that mod_deflate is simply not looking at headers generated by the script before compressing output.
I've even changed the default MIME type for Apache to application/octet-stream but to no avail.
Note that static content which has a defined MIME type doesn't get compressed - it's only the output generated by scripts.
Also, there is no defined MIME type for the .php extension.
I've also tried to disable the filter for certain directories, however, Apache doesn't seem to have an opposite to AddOutputFilterByType (although it does for AddOutputFilter (RemoveOutputFilter)). Also, I can't seem to stick in a negative <Directory> command either, which is a pain :/
i run an Internet radio station, and my current web host doesn't support the MIME Types i need for people to be able to click on the links to listen to it

I'm running plesk 11.5.30 and I'm having an issue with the new word doc format (.docx) being recognized as a zip file. I've read several posts that explain what mime types to add, and I've found the spot where I need to enter them. The part I'm not sure about is whether the custom mime types field is an addition to the current mime types or a replacement list. Does that field just needs the new mime types or a full list?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a vps at VPSVille, which I use for tunneling out onto the internet (behind a nazi firewall). Unfortunately, my vps keeps getting disabled because I cross the "20GB of traffic per month" allowed to any vps for tunneling - even though I have 300 GBs of bandwidth.
I'm now looking for another cheap vps host ($20/mo or less) that will let me utilize all the bandwidth I paid for.
I am just playing around with a server of mine, and I wanted to know is there anyway to limit the amount of inodes ( files and folders) a user can have? I am using cpanel/whm. Or is there a way I can receive an " alert" once a user has reached the specified limit?

Where a switch is set to only allow a specific IPs to be streamed from the servers connected to it.
Any server set with another IP even with a same C class range will be dropped or ignored.
eg.
Switch : with a set IP of 111.111.111.1 - 10
Any server that tries to set an IP of 111.111.111.11 and above will not get connected.

Is it possible to limit internationally traffic? National would be Australian bandwidth.
For example;
Offering Unmetered national bandwidth and 10 GB international bandwidth.
OR
Offering 50 GB national bandwidth and 5 GB international bandwidth.
How would you go about doing this, tracking it, managing it, etc. Is there any software that does it already? For example Xen or Virtuozzo?
On an cPanel + RHEL 5.3 box at WHM - Tweak Settings, I activated "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited)" and set that value to "300".
But, it seems that this limit is only if the user is sending using webmail or an email client, right now a joomla website is sending much more than 300 mails per hour, but it's using php to send the mails.
My question, how can I limit emails per hour on each domain while sending from php?

We have Linux and windows shared hosting on our dedicated servers using Plesk are we are interested in putting in connection limits and bandwidth limiting in place but not sure what to use - we don't want to set them to be too restrictive but we don't want it to be free reign either.
I was wondering if anyone else was doing this, and if so what their levels were.
Additionally, does anyone use anything for IIS 6 on 2003 that supports bandwidth throttling of dynamic content? I know there are things for IIS 7 in 2008 but that doesn't help much
Which brand / model would you recommend for those:
1 - bw limiting on specific port (like 3mbits/sec on port4)
2 - creating vlans by ports (like vlan1 = port1 + port2)
3 - creating vlans by ips (like vlan1 =x.x.x.1 to 8, vlan2 = x.x.x.9 to 27)
4 - managing the switch from GUI
I've been searching a while for a box that I can throw in front of my servers that will basically look at inbound connections and if there are more than X amount of connections from IP:XXX it will block it for X minutes.
I thought a standard load balancer would do it, but according to Barracuda, their load balancers don't. They do DDOS prevention, but that's based on packet inspection. What I'm looking for is something that will block legitimate traffic when there's just been too much in a short amount of time. Basically I've got people using autosurfing programs and refreshers on my site and I'm getting tired of analyzing log files to find them.
Is there any way to set max MySQL queries per hour to all MySQL users at once?
(lets say 20000 queries for each user?)
(cPanel/SuSE 10.0/MySQL 5.0.X).
I am interested in setup user activity limits to avoid peaks on the server load, I have readen a lot about PAM and limits.conf but still have no idea on how set this limits. Most of the examples are similar to this page http://www.seifried.org/lasg/users/ but they are still confusing to me
>> I would like to setup rules like this:
Customers may not use more than 2% CPU daily, 3% memory daily, run more than 10 simultaneous processes per user, allow any process to run for longer than 30 CPU seconds, run any process that consumes more than 20% of available CPU at any time, or run any process that consumes more than 16 MB of memory.
I may have this wrong, but I think it's possible. I have a friend who wants to run a process on one of my servers, now I don't particularly 'care' about this server, it's just used for a couple of unimportant things so I'm okay with him running it, but I don't want the hassle of sorting out things if he decides to delete everything, so I'm hoping it's possible to limit his directory.
For example, I have the folder "people" in the top most directory, inside that I have "arthur", I want to limit the ssh user "arthur" to the folder "arthur", I don't want him to be able to cd ../../ and delete stuff, is this possible?
I have got 2 low budget dedicated servers from poundhost,I would like to find a way to limit their total monthly bandwith to 5TB so that I dont get past this limit even if the server stays for 1 day with blocked traffic or else! The one server is cent os 5 and the other is windows server.

I've been unable to limit the size of a process to keep it from hosing a system. I've tried the following methods:
- RLimitMEM for just Apache (although I'd like this to apply to any process in the system)
- ulimit
- PAM limits.conf (/etc/security/limits.conf)
In theory, either ulimit or limits.conf should do the trick, but when I start up Apache and run a test script to build up some memory, it doesn't get killed off. Is there any way to do what I want? I'll even take kernel modification as an option. We're running CentOS 4.4, but I don't have a problem with swapping out for another kernel.
I have a plesk server with qmail. I would like to limit the amount of mails been sent per day per mail box or per domain.
