Do I need a cpanel to have a web/ftp server?
I think that a control panel is used when you need to create a hosting company for multiple users.
No, you can install ftp/httpd services without CPanel. CPanel is used by hosting companies for their clients.
I think CPanel of for commercial use if you're just using it for your personal servers, no need to use it. In this way you can understand more with linux.
Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would use it for personal computers. There is no need for such bloated server management software on a personal PC.
Since this post is in the server section, I assume the OP wanted to know if they needed to have CPanel to administer their web site.
You can do everything via the command line if you want, but if you're not comfortable doing it that way I'd look in to ISPConfig or Webmin - they're browser based GUIs that take over a lot of the admin tasks for you.
