    In my proftpd config I have 'MaxClientsPerHost' to limit the amount of concurrent connections from the same IP. What I'm trying to figure out though, is how do I exclude an IP from that list? So for example, I want 'MaxClientsPerHost 10' to be applied to all connections except 1 ip that I want white listed. Any thoughts?

    Perhaps try something like this:
      <Class whitelist>
    From 1.2.3.4/8
MaxClientsPerHost XX
  </Class>
    Code (markup):

    Does that work in a proftpd config file? I've never seen anything like that? I'll give it a try though :)

    Where would I put that code?

    - Fatal: <Class>: directive not allowed in <Global> context on line 22 of '/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf'
    - Fatal: <Class>: directive not allowed in <VirtualHost> context on line 37 of '/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf'
    - Fatal: MaxClientsPerHost: directive not allowed in server config context on line 75 of '/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf'

    I tried putting it in global, virtual host, or just at the top before anything else. Got the errors I posted above. I'm running the latest version of proftpd. Does it have to be compiled with a specific option to support classes?

    Taking a second looks.. it seems like <class> is not allowed in global or virtualhost, while MaxClientsPerHost is only allowed in global and virtualhost. Any ideas?
