I’m trying to manual deploy my Symfony project to the server. I have installed all the softwares of LAMP, I have setup ssh connection to the server in both the console and filezilla, and I have installed the unzip package for unzipping.
My plan is to upload my project in a zip to the server, upzip it and start from there. But my problem is that I couldn’t see those “/var/www” folders…I couldn’t get into them on both the console nor filezilla. How do I do this?

Sounds like it might be permissions related.
You may need to add your user/group to the /var/www folder or add your user to the www group (not sure what best practice is now).
Also worth thinking about scp or rsync to get your project over.
