Best way to setup Proxmox as a midway FTP server to transfer files between 2 pcs.

[eiger3970]

Hi, I have a few websites hosted on proxmox.
How do I setup the webhost so it will handle mail?
How do I setup ftp'ing data from pc1 to the proxmox ftp server, then from proxmox ftp server to pc 2?
Should I setup a new webhost on proxmox, or can I just put files somewhere where there is space on the HDD?

Hi,
it's recommended to install only nessary services on the pve-host. Use simply an VM to install an ftp-server (like vsftpd on an squeeze-openvz-VM).

About the mailhost - the question is very diffus. The pve-host use the mx-host from your dns-record. But you can also modify the mail-config to use an relay-host.
