How Make New FTP Account in Centos

[Sushant]

Hi
I have an VPS with Centos 6. I want to create an ftp account in it and set this account to particular directory with quota limit. can anyone please help me on that.

Thanks

Centos has vsftp available. But most panels like c, z, kloxo, directadmin, virtualmin come with that built in. DO you use any panel??

As Lock Down Suggested, just install a good control panel.
ZPanel is free, it has lots of good features

Install PureFTP ,

It supports quota and limits.

vsftpd is installed by default with centos. If its not installed, then run the command

# yum install vsftpd

After installation then restart vsftpd

# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

Now your FTP server is up and running. Now add additional users to FTP server so that you can login into account to upload / download files.

To add a user called xyz and set the password, enter:

# adduser -c 'FTP USER Xyz' -m xyz
# passwd xyz

Now xyz can login using our ftp server. Make sure the following is set in vsftpd.conf

local_enable=YES

Restart the vftpd:

# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
