Hello, i have a WordPress droplet, with 2 users. One is root, and another one i created.
This second one is sudoer too, but if i log in with FileZilla, i can’t go back in folders tree and navigate to /var/www
How can i enable this user to properly navigate only in /var/www and manage files?
Thanks!

@Bryan Thanks, but that tutorial says to create a new user and chroot the folder for it, but i want the folder owner to be www-data as it is now. <br> <br>@Daniyaal is it only for FTP, right? I’d like to use SFTP instead.
You can use PROftpd with mysql back end: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-proftpd-with-a-mysql-backend-on-ubuntu-12-10
You’ll want to jail the user with a <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot”>chroot</a>. Here’s a good tutorial I found while Googling that should get exactly what you want done. Just change the directory and user to the appropriate ones you need. <br> <br>http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/
