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.

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?
Also, how do I make the path to be root of the server, not user root? /home takes to user root only.
To define the users home path at creation, you’d use:
useradd -d /home/user user
To modify the user after creation, you’d want to use usermod from the CLI. The argument would be the same as it is for useradd, so you’d run:
usermod -d /home/user user
Where /home/user is the home path you want to assign to the user and user is the username of the user you want to create or modify.
