Hi @Julinho,

It usually depends on the FTP service you are using on your droplet however there is something you can use for every situation as it’s actually not related to FTP.

You can go and add the FTP user you are using to the root group or just use root and login via FTP.

Having said that, I won’t recommend doing such a thing as it’s considered as a security breach. If you wish to edit system files use ssh and do it from a terminal or the DigitalOcean Console for your droplet.

Regards,
