Implementing SFTP Quotas - Use case with RHEL 7

In linux server do the following configurations

# /etc/fstab

After mounting the volume and making fstab entries, below are command

# quotaon -u /testing

Have a mount point for testing(can be replaced with the exact path where quotas are required)

# mount -o usrquota,remount /testing

How to set the quota:

# edquota quotauser

To check the quota:

repquota -v /testing/

This ensures that the user “quotauser” will not be able to upload files more that 5KB of size in this example. Quota has to be set as per the requirement.

Note: Always quota value is taken in KBs only.
