You mean like the disk quotas system that is built into Windows 2000 & 2003
and works perfectly well with websites, providing you assign each user their
own Windows account and which you can find out lots of information about in
the help file?

What this group needs is a bit of sarcasm

Depending on the content upload mechanism, this may or may not work,
because disk quotas are calculated by the file owner bit. If the content
management mechanism or server config has teh files owned by a service
account or the administrator, quotas will not work.

Fair comment Ben, I was assuming that the poster was asking about something
like FTP because I'd expect a CMS system to manage its own quotas as an
internal part of the app.

I have long since learned not to underestimate the sensibility of
software developers when it comes to common sense features.
