i got some software that will allow me to run a http server to let users upload and download, but there isn't any way of configuring it to allow how many users are on at a time.

can javascript or html do such a thing, or does anyone know anything that will? thanks.

The easiest way to do this is set a maxium number of simultanious connections to the http server itself at one time, both Apache and IIS support it, let me know which one you're using and I'll let you know how :)

well i'm not using either one at the moment. i'm using www fileshare pro. (the server is running on my computer).

i'm running xp pro.


now that i have iis installed, how do i get it to run?

Me too? Apache

Apache 1.3x:

#
# Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
# of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever
# reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
# It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
# the system with it as it spirals down...
#
MaxClients 250


Set 250 to whatever you want your limit to be :)

well iis is going to take too long for me to learn and edit the pages since i really need to be learning flash.

is there not any javascript or something like that, that i can just paste into the html document i already have?

thanks again.

I'm guessing u add that to the cofig file since i cant find it already in it?
