Setup#

Here are some instructions on how to setup a virtual server for CrushFTP from http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/virtual-dedicated-servers.aspx?ci=9013. This was for CentOS, 1GB of RAM, $30 per month. They take about a day to have the server available for use.
First, you need to use the OS X Terminal, or a SSH program like Putty on Windows to get connected to the server to set it up.
ssh myusername@your.godaddy.ip.address
Enter your password when prompted. Answer 'yes' if asked to accept the SSH key. You are now connected and can do all the below commands.

Become the root user. Enter your password when prompted.

su

Install java.

yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

Wait for install to progress, answer "y" when prompted.

Get in the folder where we want to download CrushFTP.

cd /var/opt/

Download CrushFTP.

wget https://www.crushftp.com/early6/CrushFTP6_PC.zip

Unzip it.

unzip CrushFTP6_PC.zip

Delete zip file.

rm CrushFTP6_PC.zip

Answer "y" when prompted to delete the zip file.

Now go into the CrushFTP folder.

cd CrushFTP6_PC

Make the CrushFTP script executable.

chmod +x crushftp_init.sh

Generate a remote admin user to access crushftp externally.

java -jar CrushFTP.jar -a "crushadmin" "password"

Add a sym link for auto startup. This must be the full path to the crushftp_init.sh file.

ln -s /var/opt/CrushFTP6_PC/crushftp_init.sh /etc/init.d/crushftp

Add CrushFTP as a service, start it, and enable it for auto start at bootup.

/sbin/chkconfig --add crushftp
/sbin/service crushftp start
/sbin/chkconfig crushftp on

The lines below only apply to some CentOS systems, not all.

Disable godaddy panels so the ports are free for CrushFTP.

/sbin/service httpd stop
/sbin/chkconfig httpd off

Manage Your Server#

CrushFTP is now running as a service on your virtual server hosted by GoDaddy. Use your web browser now and pull up the GUI to register CrushFTP with your license, and start adding users.
http://your.godaddy.ip.address:8080/

Login as your "crushadmin" user from above with your password, then click on the "Admin" button.
