I’ve read numerous Digital Ocean tutorials on SFTP setup as well as general internet tutorials on the same but I haven’t found anything that offers step-by-step setup instructions and I’m a noob!
I have root SSH access to our droplet and have multiple domains hosted at /var/www/domain.com/public_html
I’d like to create multiple SFTP accounts that offer access to specific domains and DO NOT offer SSH access.
Can anyone help?
Assume I know nothing because I’m just learning command line server administration. I’m used to cPanel!
Thanks heaps and heaps!

Actually I tried that (username root) and couldn’t get in that way either. It says “login incorrect”
