Can't Make Changes via FTP on my Ubuntu Server
- by Rev
I'm very new to server management, I literally just set this up for the first time a couple weeks ago, no idea what I'm doing.
In order to allow WordPress to run updates, apparently everything needs to be owned by www-data, but if everything is owned by www-data, I can't FTP with the user revxx14. When I try, I can't make any changes (deletions, additions, updating files, nothing. I get permission denied errors across the board). Is there a way to give my user the same permissions as www-data, so that I'll be able to keep www-data the owner, but still be able to make changes via FTP?
Thanks.
