Install SFTP on Debian Lenny use root user to login

Question

I am new to linux. I have a server that I have successfully installed Debian Lenny on and everything else needed for a LAMP server.

But I am unsure how to setup FTP. My first attempt went horribly wrong had a load of permission issues.

How can I give full read/write access to my WWW folder.

The more in-depth the answer the better. I feel like such a noob.

Solution

Remember, SFTP is NOT FTP over SSH. To configure SFTP you need to do it through the ssh configuration file. Also, you need to make sure you have the proper permission on your folder. It is not wise to supply FULL access to anything, make sure you do it wisely. This should help you with fundamentals. www.linux-tutorial.net
