How to limit one session per a FTP user on WIndows XP FTP
I have a FTP server on Windows XP and would like to limit one session per a
user.
Is there any way to limit it?
Currently, there are many sessions per a user and it blocks other users due
to the limit (10).

Thanks for your comment in advance.

Not sure if your can place limit since XP was never designed to be a
"server."

Not sure, but I've heard that FileZilla (open source) works a lot better
than MS' FTP server app. Try it.

What are the users using the FTP connection for? If they are just
adding or reading a known file and not browsing they do not need to use
FTP. I have a Windows 2000 workstation with millions of files on it
that are used by 40+ people. I wrote a short program that locates the
file they need and shows it with the proper viewer. This is enormously
faster than using Windows Explorer or FTP to find a file in the
thousands of directories. Because the program only connects to the
workstation for seconds at a time I do not run into any connection limits.

Hi Michael,

People upload and download files.
And sometimes there are multiple sessions from one user while uploading or
downloading files.
I would like to limit this sessions to one per a user.
