There are a few ways to control FTP’s CPU usage:
1. Limit the number of connections: By limiting the number of connections, you can lower the CPU usage as it reduces the number of simultaneous transfers.
1. Throttle the transfer speed: Reducing the transfer speed can also help to decrease the CPU usage. You can do this by setting a limit on the upload and download bandwidth.
1. Use FTPS or SFTP instead of FTP: FTPS and SFTP both use encryption and compression protocols, which can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred and therefore lower the CPU usage.
1. Optimize the FTP server: Configure the server to ensure that it’s using the latest and most efficient software and settings.
To implement these changes on the technical level, you may need to access the server configurations and modify the settings. For instance, you can adjust the maximum transfer rates in the server configuration file, add limits on the number of concurrent connections, or use tools to optimize the server process. It’s also recommended to monitor the server usage to ensure it’s running efficiently and to make necessary adjustments as needed.
