How I can create new FTP accounts with a restricted access (by folders)?
Thank you! -
We do not provide any droplet images with FTP running by default as it is an inherently insecure protocol. SFTP is running on all new droplets on port 22 and can be accessed with your root login credentials using Filezilla. When logging in as root you will start out in the /root directory but will have access to access any directory you require.
I found this on my own journey here - I hope it helps:
General Takeaway : DON’T USE FTP, IT’S NOT SAFE!
There’s a learning curve, but level up soldier!
This article will teach you how to use Filezilla to transfer and manage files securely on your VPS.
You can find it in welcome email. Sample is shown below :
- See in your welcome email :
Droplet Name: host.sriyog.com
IP Address: 206.189.XXX.YYY
Username: root
Password: 3298d828d37f322DDe8375ac9
- Be sure to change your droplet password.
- Open your any file transfer protocol tool and using your details you can easily login to the server.
