Pure-FTPd Limits & Problems

[[JSH]John]

Hi all, does anyone know if there are limits with Pure-FTPd? I've had a problem all day with this and can't upload more than 1998 files to one folder. Another problem is that when uploading 100s of files it will eat CPU usage causing sites to be suspended then leaving me with customers asking why their site is going down everytime they upload.

Edit: I found a post on DigitalPoint with problems similar, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=23661

The limit is 2000 files within a folder by default on most server setup. All you need to do is edit the configuration file for pure-ftpd.

Edit the pure-ftpd.conf or pro-ftpd.conf higher the limit

Look for: LimitRecursion. You can also adjust the subfolders limit

Thanks Duport, that'll solve one of the problems, just to find why it uses a lot of cpu now when uploading via ftp.

Problem solved, their site is too big for shared hosting so I'll be looking into moving them to a VPS instead.
