How to access /var/www/html folder from ubuntu user through SFTP

Files copied to folder in var/www disappears on restartPermission denied while writing a file in var/www in spite of adding me to user groupBest way to configure apache2 access rightsI want to create an FTP account that can oversee multiple other FTP accounts. How should I manage my permissions and users?User has full access with FTP, limited access with SFTPhow to add a user directory in apache on ubuntuHow to add files to /var/www/html/ without using the terminal?Files/folders as group-owner www-data and SFTP as a different userApache permissions to allow both user and web server to edit /var/www/var/www/ Security

I messed up with some permission level on /var/www/ and /var/www/html/folders by running some random commands through putty.

Initially I want to add or edit some files in /var/www/html/ and I executed some commands which give me the permission to add or edit files through SFTP. But it causes a problem and I was unable to update or create any files through webserver apache.

After then I executed some random commands which gives apache to view and edit files under /var/www/html/ but I m not not able to view files from SFTP.

I have attached some screenshot of folder permission

My Configurtion

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Provider: AWS

FTP Username: ubuntu

I logged in to SFTP through PPK files

Now I want to gain access through SFTP to /var/www/html/

server permissions ssh apache2 sftp

You need to log in as a user with sudo permission, or as root. If the user does not have root permission, they have to respect the folder owner

And since the owner is apache, of course certain non sudo users can't access it

I manage with similar case in that way:

groupadd web

groupmems -g web -a myuser

chown -R .web /var/www/html/

chmod -R g+w /var/www/html/

mkdir ~myuser/web

mount --bind /var/www/html/ ~myuser/web

Explanation: create group for myuser (and others) and mount point in his mode directory. Then mount --bind apache dir.

You have to add mount to the start script.

Now you will have access to apache dir from your home.
