Uploaders don't get credits

[vincenzo]

Hi there,

I am running ioFTPD (latest version) on a server. The sitution that I am in is as like this:

People can download 1000MB a week for example. Therefore I have set the weekly quota to 1000MB, this works excellent.

However when people upload to the server they get additional credits. I don't want them to get these credits, because they are limited for a reason. :)

Now I have tried to set the ratio to 1:0 but that won't give the proper results. When someone has for example 5MB of credits left and wants to download a 100MB file then normally ioFTPD would report the user 'insufficient credits', however with this ratio put on the people can download anything they want. :mad:

I have searched all over the forums, and I could not find a thread with someone in the simillar situation. So I was wondering if someone could tell me how I make sure that this will work the way I want it to.

Maybe it's not possible at all, but I doubt that.

Thanks in advance.

No one with ideas? :o

Don't give them the rights required to upload in the first place?

i think vincenzo wants to permit uploading, but he doesn't want it to apply credit toward downloads.

i'm sorry vincenzo that i haven't had time to study the code to answer your question yet. this is an area of ioftpd that i haven't studied yet and i was hoping someone already knew the answer.

if you can confirm my interpretation above of what you are asking, i'll find some time in the next couple days to study the code and answer your question.

My idea would be: stick with the 1:1 ratio and use/write a script that, on the OnUploadComplete-event, deducts 'filesize' from his credits. (If i had any decent knowledge of TCL i'd write it myself)

Exactly! This is what I want...

If you could code something for that, then that would be great! :)

That would do the trick... Unfortunatly I don't have any knowledge of TCL...

I don't have a registered version.

But a friend of mine has, and we have looked at the script and came to the conclusion that this is not it..

We are talking about this one right?

jCreditsKiller.itcl

Stupid thing is.. we couldn't find a descent description except for the one in the ictl file..

Mind you, he did not share this itcl with me, we looked at it on his machine.

This (that tcl) is what you want.

Config is:
userName:RATIO:SECTION

Example:
vincenzo:3:0

This will remove the credits you got when uploading a file in section 0 (anywhere on your server, unless you changed the default sections settings in ioFTPD.ini) in which you have a 1:3 ratio (again, 1:3 is the default ratio). That means you wouldn't get any credit for uploading files.

Thanks for the explaination....

Guess I will have to register myself asap then. Thanks again for the input everyone! :D

Note: Foundation scripts are only available if you buy a Foundation license. A Standard io registration won't give you access to those scripts atm.
