There is no way to control the bandwidth on a user basis in IIS.
If you want this feature, you will have to install an alternate FTP server.
This one should meet your requirements: www.xlightftpd.com

Bandwidth throttling limits the bandwidth that is used by static HTML files only.
You can set it at the server level or for each individual web site.
There is no way to throttle FTP in IIS6 and certainly not on a user basis.
So there is no way to apply constant bandwith for every ftp user in iis6.0?
No there isn't. IIS FTP has quite basic features.
Ok thanks
Now i have also a firewall after ftp server. Any policy in firewall due to which i can restrict ftp user to restrict bandwith.Any feature of firewall.Firewall is Netgear FVS-124 G.
I guess you can play with QoS on the firewall but that will apply for the FTP protocol and not on a user basis.
QoS is not helpfull for me.Now at the last moment i want to know:-

How to Enable Bandwidth Throttling  in IIS6.0 for Http service.Because i am not able to see this feature in IIS6 while IIS5.0 have.
