How to install FTP on a VPS with CentOS + OpenVPN?

comeback

I buy a VPS with RamNode:

•RAM: 128MB

•VSwap: 128MB

•Cores: 1 @ 2.3GHz+

•50GB RAID10 SSD-Cached HDD Space

•1 IPv4 Address

•16 IPv6 Addresses

•500GB Bandwidth

I install CentOS 6.4 X64 and "OpenVPN server."

This works, but I'd also installed a ftp server.

There's 50GB of disk space, I would like to create user with a 5GB or 10GB of space.

Is it possible with so little memory?

Thank you for your help

You should have no issues doing this, depending on the memory footprint of the FTP though! Do you have any preference with FTP servers/used any certain ones before?

yes. its possible you could even make a large swap file.

I have no preference.

Maybe I explained myself badly.

For example I want:

User1 has 10 GB of disk space

User2 has 5 GB of disk space

User3 has 2 GB of disk space

But I think we need MySQL for this, and with 128MB of memory, it is not enough.

u can use VSFTP (no need of mysql)

There need to MySQL for quotas.

Is my configuration will support MySQL?

tridinebandim

should work, if not do some mysql tweaks

Prefer MariaDB over Oracle MySQL. This is a good my.cnf for your setup:

socket  = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

[mysqld_safe]

nice          = 0

[mysqld]
user                    = mysql
port                      = 3306

Yes it is possible, just run these commands.
yum install vsftpd

chkconfig vsftpd on

service vsftpd start

then look around in this file to get those preferences you want: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
(man pages might not be a bad idea as well)

how about installing proftpd and limit user max disk space by username?

Btw Webmin should work too. it has interface!

Google for 'webmin ftp quota'
