I need to set up an FTP server on a virtual server keeping overheads to a minimum.
What I'd like is some kind of GUI to administer it (add new users etc) which runs on my desktop and does the admin remotely, so that when not in use it has zero overhead (compared with having to install a web server and database to manage it, for example).
Not fussed as to which FTP server at this point.
(It strikes me that a tool that was able to manage text based config files over SSH for FTP servers but also other services would be quite useful, does such a thing exist?)
BTW, further to my earlier reply, you won't be needing Ansible Tower!
It also does one-off commands from the terminal which are executed remotely. Handy for checking daemons, mail queues and so on.
