Or wait for OES2 SP2, which is supposed to finally, after 4+ years of OES,
port that functionality over.

Yes I had both working the latter pureftp was a real pain to setup with
edir but it worked.
Th only cavet I found is that users must have a home foolder on ftplogin
to navigate. I implementated auto-home. for this to work.
# Automatically create home directories if they are missing

CreateHomeDir yes

# Enable virtual quotas. The first number is the max number of files.
# The second number is the max size of megabytes.
# So 1000:10 limits every user to 1000 files and 10 Mb.

Quota 1000:10

I just hope the qutoa only applies to the localhome and not the NCP file
permissions. I am pretty sure that is the case.
