solaris or linux sftp/ftp-server
Hi,
we have a big problem,
history:
we migrated our companies ftp and sftp-server, which were vsftp and openssh, to one server, software is called JSCAPE ftp server professional edition
for the first time everything was great, but after one or two months, our uploads hang, 0 byte files are created, very very slow uploads in comparison to openssh, users are dying, means they can't log in from one moment to another and must be recreated, and so on
new installs on the same machine or other machines with different operating systems leaded to the same troubles after a period of time
support is doing nothing, response time up too one! week
so we must go away from this product
we need a sftp/ftp server with centralized user management, having an chroot environment, (I don't mean something like jailkit, copying needed binarys, special files and /etc files to a subfolder, I mean a real chroot like vsftp or proftp provide, eg. the user must not change above his ftp home directory)
an admin should be able to choose sftp/ftp or both for every user
filesystem quotas for ftp and sftp
platform can be linux/bsd/solaris x86 or sparc solaris,
does anyone know such a product, open source or not? or a way to configure basic tools like openssh, vsftp like that?
I really need your help guys!
thanks in advance

sftp-server
SFTP-SERVER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SFTP-SERVER(8)
NAME
sftp-server -- SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
sftp-server [-ehR] [-d start_directory] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask]
DESCRIPTION
sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol to stdout and expects client requests from stdin. sftp-server is not
intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem option.
Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem declaration. See sshd_config(5) for more information.
Valid options are:
-d start_directory
specifies an alternate starting directory for users. The pathname may contain the following tokens that are expanded at runtime: %%
is replaced by a literal '%', %h is replaced by the home directory of the user being authenticated, and %u is replaced by the user-
name of that user. The default is to use the user's home directory. This option is useful in conjunction with the sshd_config(5)
ChrootDirectory option.
-e Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead of syslog for debugging.
-f log_facility
Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH,
LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH.
-h Displays sftp-server usage information.
-l log_level
Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1,
DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are
equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.
-R Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode. Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations that
change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.
-u umask
Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the user's default mask.
For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log. Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that
syslogd(8) establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
