pure-quotacheck -u ddd -d /home/soft/www/ddd

From the pure-quotacheck man page:

Quote:

pure-quotacheck create a .ftpquota file in the specified directory.
This file contains the current file and size of the directory, and it is used by Pure-FTPd when virtual quotas are enabled.
It's recommended to periodically run pure-quotacheck for every user, in crontabs.

You should run:

Code:

pure-pw usermod ddd -n 1000 -N 10

Here -n 1000 is the max numbers of files and -N 10 the quota (10M in this case)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I know that

pure-quotacheck -u ddd -d /home/soft/www/ddd command create a .ftpquota file in specify directory.

but i want actual amount of assign quota not the used quota

If you want to see the assigned quota for a user, you can use:

Code:

pure-pw show ddd

You can also use

Code:

grep ddd /etc/pureftpd.passwd

The output should be something like that:

Quote:

ddd:$1$htvZOfx0$16Tp9A76rME4uBIaXf65M1:1020:1001::/var/ftp/ddd/./::::::10:5242880:::::

The 2 entries in bold are the max no of files and the assigned quota

Hi,

Yes i will mark this post as solved but can you help me how to assign unlimited quota to user if that user assign suppose 500mb

You should use -N and/or -n with an empty argument, like this:

Code:

pure-pw usermod ddd -n '' -N ''

Of course you can edit /etc/pureftpd.passwd and delete the values of -n and -N, but better be formal
