Proper procedure - sftp access to www folder - To be able to upload files
- by Jay
My www folder is root:root. What should it be? My site works perfectly but maybe I am doing something wrong.
My nginx.conf says user is 'nginx'. Should I be changing the www onwership and group to that or something else?
Mainly I want to be able to sftp into the www folder using FileZilla. Preferably only allow access to the www folder. I want to be able to upload the website files but I just don't know the proper procedure.
I have tried changing owners and groups but I get worried some part of the stack will not like it. For example does nginx play along, and php?
I thought about having a sftp group or even an sftp user. But I don't want to go down a path that should be avoided.
What should I be doing with my setup?
