How to configure a FTP server with space

The best source I've found for disk quotas in Linux can be found at:
www.linuxdoc.org/HowTo/mini/Quota.html (also accessible through www.redhat.com and search on "quota").

As far as setting up the directories, you can set up an account for each user (or for a group) and on the same line as their user id, group id, etc. you can define a home directory. You can then create the directory (home/ftpuser1 home/ftpuser2...) and give them ownership using chown and define the permissions using chmod. Some of the specifics will depend on whether you will be using wu-ftpd or some other FTP daemon (my favorite is NcFTPd).

With this setup, they will log on, go to their own home directory (and nowhere else) and be limited by the disk quotas asto how much stuff they can store there.

The single IP address is no problem since that is how you connect to the FTP daemon and it then handles all the downstream file and directory services.
