Question
sftp web server permissions
I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 (LEMP) I need proper access for both “www-data” and “example” user (myself).
I used this command
chown -R example:www-data /var/www/html
Now I can upload via sftp but my homepage doesn’t work properly because of a permission error for some javascript file
As a temporary solution I just switch back and forth between these 2 commands
to upload via sftp: chown -R example /var/www/html
and then to have my homepage running properly again: chown -R www-data /var/www/html
How can I get this to work without changing permissions all the time?

Anybody? I have the same problem.
I now used sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/
So I can SFTP to all sites and all sites (Joomla) keep on working. Is this secure (enough)?
