<![CDATA[Unlimited FTP download?]]>I set hard speed limit for one alias lan hosts.
But I fond there is no any speed limit for FTP download.

Test in 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-12-08-2006-pfSense

1. I setup two new queue with Upperlimit 2Mb.
2. test from one lan client, ftp connecting to one server outbound with standard ftp port 21.

Upload speed is limited to 2Mb, it's correct.
Download speed is unlimited, maybe pftpx problem?

3. test from same client, ftp connect to same server outbound but with ftp port 2121, yes, it's not standard ftp port.

Upload speed is limited, correct.
Download speed is limited too, correct.

What can I do speed limit for that standard port ftp? Thanks.

I think if you activate FTP-Proxy Helper at your LAN and put a firewall rule to permit your traffic from your LAN to 127.0.0.1 (localhost pfSense FTP-Proxy) you will by-pass your Traffic Shaper.

Like this, port 21 and dynamic ports for FTP access will not be in your queues.

This only appear while using PASV connetion to download from standard 21 port ftp.

I just tested, use active mode, speed was limited.
