No

No, everything works fine

Same ports, 50000-51000 and 65437.
I choose these ports because they are the ports that I have passive ftp traffic on and 65437 is the active ftp port.
I just dont understand why the inbound traffic is being limited. The outbound shaping works fine.
Script:
I am using the following script to limit my outbound traffic. This scipt runs on a box behind my firewall. It limits my outbound passive ftp traffic to 39K perfectly....just like i want. However, i just noticed that it is also limiting uploads coming to my server.
Is there something I can change to make it not limit uploads to my server?
#!/bin/bash
#shaping passive ftp traffic
# mark the outbound passive ftp packets on ports 50000-51000
