Title: SFTP and root access
Post by: neggard on June 01, 2013, 07:51:05 pm

Hello!
I just have 1 user, the one you did in the installation step.

Now I have made 3 virtual domain and when I use filezilla with SFTP and connect to /srv/www/domain
Problem is when I tried to upload something I have no access.

I know the system dont have a password for root and for security it should not be used.
So how could I connect to the place and upload files to my webpages?

after you have the files on the server (Ex: in the user's home directory) via filezilla or winscp or whatever method you want, use sudo to do the operations
ex: sudo mc
or
ex: sudo cp /path/to/file/file1 /destination/of/file/

But pay attention to the rights of the files! since they will be owned by root (sudo) and you must change them to www-data owner for them.

Best regards
