Hello,

I have used the native ftp server for Windows server 2012 r2 and also Filezilla server. The problem in the IIS is that if there are too many ftp users, there should have to bee the same number of OS users. Filezilla is better with user management, but seems very unreliable to me, because it works for awhile and then responds with the 425 error - unreachable network. So I am looking for something reliable that really works. Forgot to say that the server is in the Azure cloud.

I don't know what could be easier than setting up an ftp server in linux. Linux itself is hard but if you already have a linux machine, installing an ftp server is going to take 2 minutes. On 10/12/2015 06:29 AM, Negoslav Sabev wrote:

I've never used azure. My virtual machine experiences have always been the other way around. I've run a Windows virtual machine on a linux host but I've never run a linux virtual machine on a Windows host. Linux supports fat16, fat32, and ntfs. So if your files are on a USB external drive formatted in fat32 (which is likely), you can just plug that into a linux box and it will work. I am pretty sure linux can read/write ntfs too. If the files are on a NAS, you'd have to pick one of the remote protocols the NAS supports. Linux supports lots of remote file systems protocols so that isn't going to be a problem. If you are going to copy the files from your old server to your new virtual server, I would advocate using a native linux file format, probably xfs. Xfs is better/faster for file systems that have a lot of small files that change a lot. Although, you can't really go wrong with either xfs or ext4. There would be no reason to keep the file system fat32 or ntfs if you're copying the files to the virtual disk anyway. You can create a linux virtual machine and use a Windows file system but I see no advantage to that. Besides, I'd recommend against copying the files to the virtual disk. Next time you want to switch, you'd have to copy them out again. If the files are on an external disk of some type, either a USB drive or a NAS, you could switch them to another machine any time.

Hi John,

The problem is not the setting of the FTP itself. The machine has to be in Azure cloud and setting up Linux VM there is more involving than setting up Windows VM. Seems I also have to move existing disks filled with data and as I know Linux uses different file system. So if it is easy enough to attach the disks without losing or re-uploading data, it would be fine. Moving the disks is no problem. I am concerned with keeping the data untouched. Do you have ideas it it is possible?
