limit upload/download speed per IP in Cpanel

Question

I have some abusers on FTP which suck all my 100MBs on the server. How I could stop that from Cpanel or iptables or something else?

While I strongly advise you not to use ftp but sftp, you can :

Ban offending ip with iptable
Use an alternate port so that web bots will take longer to brute force your ftp server.
Limit the number or ftp sessions depending on the ftp server you use.
