Hi,
A majority of our work inolves ftp to my clients' side over our
slow connection. Now we need to allocate a greater b/w for this
protocol. Is there anyway I can do it using lartc easily?
It can be done, but not so easy. Ftp traffic uses some random ports. But you
can filter ftp traffic if you use iptables to mark all ftp traffic (make sure
you match them all and not only the command traffic). That mark can be used
with the fw filter to put the traffic in a separate htb/cbq class.

You can also bind ftp traffic to a known range and mark those ports with
iptables. Thats how I do it. Proftpd allows you to set passive ports
to a certain range.
