I assume you're using cPanel on the server and if yes then follow this link:- https://jvulinux.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/find-user-bandwidth-via-ssh-shell-cpanelwhm/

- Login as root and run the following iftop command
- iftop does for network usage what top does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts
# iftop

There are many tools available to check the bandwidth of linux server through SSH. Like ifstat, vnstat, dstat, iftop, iptraf, nethogs. Most of them are not pre-installed so you will need to install them.

You could install nagios on the server.

Use the Windows key + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app. Click Data usage. Under Overview, you'll see the total data usage from the last 30 days for Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections. Click the Usage details link to view network data usage for all your applications installed on your compute

Nload
Nload is a commandline tool that allows users to monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic separately. It also draws out a graph to indicate the same, the scale of which can be adjusted. Easy and simple to use, and does not support many options.
