Hi there. I am being used for SFTP.
However, I need an FTP installation situation. Because I now need the support of WordPress themes support. They asked for an FTP account to me.
I made sure the man down. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04
I succeeded to the FTP installation, the connection has failed.
So any questions. Question 1. I want to create a support account and password. (Ex: ftp account: support) Question 2. I want to support the home directory of the account to / var / www / html. Question 3. How do I set the permissions of the support account? Question 4. I want to stop the FTP service when you do not need the help of specialists.
Thank you.

WordPress will only ask for FTP details if it finds that it does not have the permissions required to write a new theme of other file you are adding. This can be easily corrected. On Ubuntu, the user apache is run as is www-data so the files it needs to write require permissions allowing write access for that user. You can set this for your whole web root with the following command:
chown -Rf /var/www/html
After doing this, WordPress should no longer ask you for FTP credentials.
