September attrs is / usr: permission denied;

Error: mv / home / wp-content / var / www / wp-content: permission denied etc etc etc

You should chown it to your sFTP user and chmod it to 755, both recursively.

    I have add the user ADMIN in file /etc/sudoers.tmp (SEE BELOW) BUT still when I connect to the ADMIN user looks like this: admin@mydomain:/$ and not user ROOT admin@mydomain:~# What do I solve this? I am grateful to those who help me. Thank you.

    User privilege specification

    root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    *admin ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    *

    Members of the admin group may gain root privileges

    *%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
    *

    Allow members of group sudo to execute any command

    *%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    *

    This command? sudo chown -R 755 admin and sudo chmod - R 755 admin
