I'm looking to set up a FTP Server and have a spare XP box that I want to use. I know XP limits user connections to 10? Will this effect the number of FTP users who can login at the same time?

Also, I'm using a 3rd party FTP server so I don't need to issues (Windows accounts for any of the FTP clients)

Per microsoft "The TCP connection limit is not enforced, but it may be bound by legal agreement to not permit more than 10 clients."

Edit: Source - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882

The section that I quoted was from their development part, but thats why other tools such as a non-microsoft ftp will work.

If its a 3rd party software that is handling the logins and not IIS, then XPs user limit should not come into play at all.

Windows may not enforce the limit, but legally you're limited to 10 client connections. – Chris S♦ Jul 22 '10 at 19:46
I realize there is an "ethical" limit, but the question that was asked was if it would affect the number of users logged in. The answer, is "No" – DanBig Jul 22 '10 at 19:55
