How to enable quotas for FTP users

Hi All

I am having a public VPS server with 10GB of hard disk space. Now when I give FTP access to my FTP users sometimes the disk gets full causing my website to get down also. I am using VSFTP server. Please help to implement quota on my FTP users. Also as you know it is a VPS server so we can not modify the /etc/fstab file to enable file system quotas from there.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

well, you can do this with modquotatab & proftpd and maybe other ftp servers, but i think vsftpd has to be tied to system quotas - which means no virtual users and getting access to /etc/fstab
