  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.

  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.

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

  [client]
  port        = 3306
  socket  = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
  
  [mysqld_safe]
  socket      = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
  nice          = 0
  
  [mysqld]
  user                    = mysql
  port                      = 3306
  pid-file               = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
  socket                = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
  basedir               = /usr
  datadir               = /var/lib/mysql
  tmpdir               = /tmp
  lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql
  
  skip-external-locking
  key_buffer_size               = 16M
  max_allowed_packet       = 1M
  table_open_cache           = 64
  sort_buffer_size              = 512K
  net_buffer_length           = 8K
  read_buffer_size             = 256K
  read_rnd_buffer_size      = 512K
  myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M
  
  skip-innodb
  default-storage-engine = MyISAM
  
  max-connections = 25
  
  query-cache-size  = 2M
  query-cache-limit  = 1M
  
  thread-stack          = 256K
  thread-cache-size = 2M
  
  slow-query-log
  long_query_time   = 5
  
  [mysqldump]

  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)
