  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

FTP configuration file - limit users

MislavO

Regular Pleskian
Hello, i was investigating high CPU load on one of my server and after few days i figure it out that FTP is problem, specifically FTP connections and uploading files (first i tuned fast cgi/apache configuration and i've seen difference, but in some parts of the days, there was extreamly high load on server, which gets to my problem, FTP). I've noticed that default configuration (which i'm not sure where is exactly) is not suitable for my server and i have to do something about it.

I've found this:
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=60036

and i guess post #4 is solution to all the problems, but one thing that is making problems to me, and thats why i created this topic is, i'm unable to find where should i "put" this variables.

I've tryed to put this values in /etc/proftpd.conf, restart /etc/init.d/xinetd restart, but no effect, i didn't limit user connections per IP and other variables (usually high CPU happens when any user wants to upload a lot of files and i can see in logs that he open like 200 connection).

Anyone know where should this go ?
