I have added user with a command:
sudo adduser *user*
Now I can connect using FileZilla, however I have no clue what path does it brings me to. I would like to be able to browse root of my server/site.

Also, how do I make the path to be root of the server, not user root? /home takes to user root only.
Thanks for your reply. That worked! If I may ask another question: Now I can’t manipulate with files in new directory. Should I change permissions or something now?

To define the users home path at creation, you’d use:
To modify the user after creation, you’d want to use
usermod
from the CLI. The argument would be the same as it is foruseradd
, so you’d run:Where
/home/user
is the home path you want to assign to the user anduser
is the username of the user you want to create or modify.
