title: Best AWS setup for a dedicated FTP server?
body: <p>My company is looking for a solution for file sharing via FTP - currently, we share one server for client/admin FTP file sharing and serving multiple sites, and are looking to split off our roles so that we have one server dedicated to FTP and one for serving websites.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to find a good solution with AWS, but cannot find any detailed information regarding EBS and EC2 servers, and whether an EC2 package will be able to handle FTP storage.  For example, a T2.nano instance seems ideal with 1 cpu and minimal RAM, but I see no information regarding EBS storage limits.</p>
  
  <p>We need around 500GiB at most, and will have transfers happening daily in the neighborhood of 1GiB in and out.  We don't need to run a database or http server.  We may run services for file cleanup in the background weekly.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I mis-worded the question, which was founded from a fundamental lack of understanding AWS EC2 and EBS which I now grasp.  I know EC2 can run FTP services, the question was more of a cost-effective solution with dynamic storage.  Thanks for the input!</p>
