Managing a remote ubuntu server
- by erdomester
I hire an Ubuntu server which I access remotely and I purchased a domain for my webpage. I am totally new to this server thing and to Ubuntu as well. What applications should I install on the server?
I need to transfer files to the server, I guess I would use FileZilla
the same way I use it to upload files to my free website. But to have
a username and password should I install an ftp server and create a
user on Ubuntu?
My website will send automated messages to users, so do I need to
install a mail server as well?
What other software should I install on the server apart from a
firewall and an anti-virus?
Should I partition the hard drive (3TB) and how? How partitions
should I create and in what size for what applications?
Btw I use Windows 7 on my computer, so I am basically a windows user.
