Hi,
I’m pretty new at this server management, but thought I would give it a go, but now I’m a bit stuck and hope that somebody has the time to help me get over this issue I’m having.
I created a droplet, using the Wordpress application install option and it all worked out fine. I then installed vsftpd to have access to my wp files, so that I could connect it to my development tool and upload the files quickly. I got the ftp working, by following a tutorial here, but when I log in with my root access user, I can’t see any folders.
Could anybody explain to me, which user I should use or how to get access to my wordpress directory on the droplet.
Thanks, olaf

I have the same problem… <br> <br>How can I solve it?
Did you need a course about Linux Management . <br> <br> <br>1 FTP is more insecure whit working a development sites. <br> <br>Is more secure using a SFTP client .
You should uninstall vsftpd and use this: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-filezilla-to-transfer-and-manage-files-securely-on-your-vps”>How To Use Filezilla to Transfer and Manage Files Securely on your VPS</a>.
