2000 Server

[madfish]

Hey mntsnow. so far so good, lol, I just wish the crummy serveguide talked about setting up FTPs mores and less on Web sites. I picked up the book "Sam's teach yourself MS windows 2000 server in 24 hours" and lol, it don't even talk about FTPing.
I'm trying to figure out how to lmit bandwith as I have two ftp sites going and I don't want to lose all my bandwith to them. heheh I need some for surfing too.

[Mntsnow]

I will do some checking but as you know I dont use the built in FTP applicaiton. I use bulletproof and love it

[madfish]

I know that, I couldn't figure out BP, so I went back to IIS

[madfish]

Next question:
how do I limit user space in a folder. lik I want to set up some folders for friends to ftp into for storge, but I don't want them filling up my one of my spare 40 g Hdds. I like to limit them to 500mb each @ 6 folders = 3 gig.

[Mntsnow]

You have to enable "quotas" on their user accounts

[madfish]

Ahhhh, thats what quotas are for, heheh I really should read my book more. Thanks Mike

[madfish]

OK, I got my book out and I'm reading the chapter on permissions/disk quotas. I goto my computer/ select volume "D"/right click select propities/and I see no quota tab. anyidear? I was disabling/setting things to manual things in services earlyer. could I had disabled quotas by mistake?
I get the same thing with all the others too.
Ohh does it matter that it is a partion on my secondary Hdd? I got 2 partions Hdd #2

[Mntsnow]

Is the other HD NTFS formatted?

[madfish]

OOPPSSSSSSSS... I forgot that, gosh darn it, it's fat 32, I'll fix that right now,
Thanks

[madfish]

Mike, if I format that Hdd from fat32 to ntfs, will I be able to put back my ftp files and be able to axcess it from a 98/95 box? I'm all backed up and waiting to hear from you befor I commit the drive to ntfs.

Win95/98 cannot recognize NTFS (i.e. WinNT, Win2k, WinXP) therefore cannot access files/folders from that partition/HD.

[Mntsnow]

Jadison is correct in that 9x will not directly read NTFS file system ..>BUT 9x CAN access an NTFS SHARE thru networking. (the server basically "Reads" the file to the workstation requesting the file instead of the workstation reading the file directly for it self)
