Raspberry Pi Filezilla Permission

Question

I was playing with my pi server and changing settings. When I tried to upload a file via filezilla I realized that its giving an error (553 Could not create file.). I can upload and create files in home/pi folder but I can't do anything in www folder.

I think on Filezilla you are using FTP? I was getting blocked 550 premission denied. Try SFTP, it worked for me..

You do not have any rights for example in the /var/www folder.

Upload the files to /home/pi and connect with ssh. Login as user "pi" (and change to user "root" with "sudo su").

Then you can move your file. "(sudo) mv /home/pi/file.xy /move/it/to/this/place/"

You can also use "sudo" with the user "pi" instead of log in with user "root".

Is there a way to give user the rights in /var/www folder – dan dadadadan Nov 24 '17 at 14:43
You can change the user of the folder /var/www – Nov 24 '17 at 14:46
But it is easier to connect with ftp with root user https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/48056/login-as-root-not-possible – Nov 24 '17 at 14:46
