I used the One-Click App Install of Ghost and I was going to edit config.js with Notepad++ using NppFTP. I have already setup Ubuntu to not allow root login, setup a new user, as well as a SSH key.
When I use this new user to SFTP (Notepad++ or FileZilla) I cannot upload to the ghost folder. I assume this is because the ghost folder is owned by the ghost user, but how do I go about allowing my new user to upload files to the ghost folder? Can I chown the ghost folder or would that mess with the application? I assume I don’t want to add write permissions to the group rather than just a user, but I’m not seeing a way around this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,
Truthfully, it may be best to edit the file directly with a text editor on the Droplet. Using
viornanowill ensure that no odd characters are added and that the file is kept as plain text. This tutorial reviews editing files on a Linux system.Happy coding,
