Multiple Ftp Connections

[spadin]

Hi,

 

I'm wondering how many concurrent connections are allowed via FTP. I'm teaching high school kids how to design websites and I wanted to give them some space on my server until the semester ends so they can learn how to add content to the internet.

 

The problem is, there are about 15 kids in the class. Chances are they are all going to connect to FTP around the same time.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sandro

The help desk can give you that answer.

Thanks, I sent them a message.

 

I usually try to post in the forums beforehand, just in case, so I don't bombard the help desk with too many questions.

Understood but it's a server configuration question and the mods do not have access to that informaiton.

Additionally, because the forum responses are indexed and available for searching in the future, TCH is wise and doesn't like to post certain server settings in the TCH forums. This is for a number of reasons:

 

1. The information can change as servers are upgraded, migrated, or as policies change. TCH doesn't want to have to update all the forum threads that might be providing information that would then be inaccurate.

2. In some cases server configurations may vary from server to server, due to different hardware and software configurations on servers.

3. For certain types of information, TCH doesn't want the numbers available in an effort to prevent abuse. TCH will provide paying customers with the details if they submit a help desk request, but this limits that information from being generally available to people who would misuse it in a way that would (a) provide a headache to the TCH support staff, and ( cause degraded performance for 'good' TCH customers.

 

Anyway, that may be why this information is only available through the help desk. I, however, am only a customer like you, so this is just a guess.

 

Best wishes.
