    You cant limit only FTP bandwidth rather you can limit full cpanel. But you can limit the datatransfer rate of FTP very easily. Like 50kb/sec. etc.

    yes you could definitely limit the users from accessing the data and even you could restrict the bandwidth...........

    Probably the best way to go about this is to get a reseller account, and create separate cPanel accounts for each FTP you wish to create, and limit the account to the specified monthly bandwidth limit. I don't believe there is a way to specifically restrict monthly bandwidth usage for a particular FTP account, you can only restrict the actual bandwidth usage on the entire cPanel account.

    You can use a combination of iptables (mangle) and qdist to shape your speeds on a per user basis.

    This guy need a pratical reply.
    If your cPanel have installed pure-ftpd you can edit the file /etc/pure-ftpd.conf.

    Find
    # UserBandwidth

    uncomment and choise a speed, 200kb/s for example.
    UserBandwidth 200

    Restart pure-ftpd and changes are apply.
    This change are made to all users, not just for alex and alex2, to do this you need to edit the vhost of these users on pure-ftp config.
