Web admin tool for Linux?

[ElricM]

Greetings,

My Linux career is about 5 days old now with my new dedicated server. I mostly worked on Windows 2000 and 2003 servers, the Linux machines I did work on were hosted accounts. Does anyone know a "Plesk" like web interface for administrating a Linux machine? Something with a file manager and utilites for doing things like creating and adminstering user and FTP user accounts. In the meantime, I will go get a copy of something like O'Reily's Linux in a Nutshell, but a web tool (or windows) would be cool. I've been using PuTTY and fscp.

Thanks

I would highly recommend Webmin - http://webmin.org

You can use Plesk for Linux/Unix

How do you do things like create additional FTP users and have them go to a specific directories or use file manager to manipulate OS (eg, not domain) files in Plesk?

Thanks much for the webmin tip.

btw: looks like the url is now webmin.com

If you need free alternative, you can look at webhostingtalk threads, there too much talk about it. You will difinitely something for you. Btw webmin is good alternative, but not hosting-tuned.
