Hey friend,
By default our images do not come with FTP servers installed. You can use SFTP which uses the SSH protocol, and then use the root user (and the pass that only you know). However, when you do that you’ll need to also make sure to log in via SSH and chown the files you upload. Something like this:
chown -R www-data. /var/www
