I’ve Ubuntu 14.04 and I’ve created a non-root user and gave the root privileges as recommended in the initial server setup. Using this user’s credential I can login using filezilla and update my wordpress files just fine. However I would like to use dreamweaver istead of filezilla. It’s a pain to keep editing the files in one place and having to FTP in another.
