Hey guys,

Pretty new to Linux, i have played around with it, but have not really used it for a long period of time.

My question is regarding a FTP server.
Currently I am running a Windows Box and i have tried all of the nice apps, FileZilla server, Serv-U, Titan and IIS FTP and i have found to have issues with them.
I am not sure if its OS config or the software itself be certain people keep on getting disconnected when they upload especially when the server starts getting hit.

I am currently playing with FTP for IIS 7.0 on Server 2008, but i want to see what are my alternatives in the Linux world.

There are some things that i need the server to support though so if you could help me out with what will fit my scenario i would appreciate it.

The server needs:

Support of uploading files that are over 2 GB in size
Support min of 20 simultaneous connections uploading and downloading (most of the traffic however will be in uploads)
Support for deleting incomplete uploads (very important)
Ability to add new users without having to restart the server
User home directory isolation

Bandwidth throteling would be a nice addition but is not a necesity
so would be the ability to limit how many connections per IP and per user


Thanks guys

It sounds like vsftpd would meet all of your needs. I run this solution in my environment with no problems.

It has most of what you have listed set by default (home isolation), user adding etc.

Cheers,

Thanks,

I was looking at both vsftpd and pureftp, but i got lost in the documentation regarding deleting incomplete uploads.
This is one of the most important things i need out of the ftp server, baring security which from reading both are secure.
