I installed PureFTP using the instructions available here PureFTP Ubuntu Help. The FTP server is now up and running.

I have 1 ftp user group (ftpgroup), 1 user (ftpuser - I am not entirely sure what this is, step 2.2 in the instructions linked) and 2 ftp users (user1 and user2).

I now want to assign quota to both user1 and user2, so that they can not write over a specified amount, lets say 100MB. How do I do that?

This is old but someone else might use it:

sudo pure-pw usermod user1 -N 100 -m

Above will add user1 quota of 100 MB

  • -N = quota in MB
  • -m = build credentials database (if you omit this you have to run sudo pure-pw mkdb to apply changes)

Make sure to use -N not -n.

-n (lowercase n) will set file limit - a number of files, not the size.
