Trying to upload theme and media files with filezilla through SFTP. I can't login with www-data. It doesn't accept the password. When I try to login with the www-data username in the console, it closes the connection immediately.
This question was answered by @sierracircle:
You probably should use your regular user, and just add that user to www-data group.
From a command-line:
sudo usermod -a -G www-data $USERthen check it worked by running:
id $USERyou should see a list of all groups that user belongs to, www-data should be listed
