Description

RLimitMemory takes 1 or 2 parameters. The first parameter sets the soft resource limit for all proftpd processes. The optional second parameter sets the maximum resource limit. Either parameter can be a number, or max to indicate to the server that the limit should be set to the maximum allowed by the operating system configuration.

Memory resource limits are expressed in bytes per process. An optional case-insensitive units specifier may follow the number of bytes given: G (Gigabytes), M (Megabytes), K (Kilobytes), or B (bytes). If the units specifier is used, the given number of bytes is multiplied by the appropriate factor.
