One partial solution would be to limit the total number of FTP connections, though annoying people could simply fill all those, and prevent anyone else from getting through. On the upside, the HTTP sever would still work fine.
Another solution would be to limit FTP access to users defined in the top-level Folder. Or maybe limit the number of connections from users not defined in the top-level Folder.
Or, if a user hasn't successfully accessed a directory that requires authorization within xx minutes of connecting, then disconnect. Or, allow connections to be denied based on ftp client's ip subnet or domain name. We make an FTP server for Novell NetWare, so we're versed with these issues...
