I'm setting up a small box to run an FTP server for a class room. Currently, I have it only running Red Hat 9 with the default vsftpd that comes with RH. The idea is that the server will be accessible for Web Design students to login to FTP and upload there files to there own folder, and then view them in a web browser. I've started by putting the users (students) home directories as sub directories of the /www directory, and so that vsftpd logs them into their home directories by default, so that they go straight to where they need to be. The last thing I have to do is limit the amount of space that each user is alotted, and this is where I need help. I have no idea how to do this XD Can anyone give me an idea how to do this? Is another FTP daemon nessecary?

You could use the disk quota program that comes with redhat. I donno how to set it up, but I know webmin can cause I've seen it in there

You're looking for "quota". It SHOULD be on RH (It even comes on OS X.).

I've never used it, myself, but the man page for it seems pretty clear, and it should point you in the right direction!
