I'm running VSFTPD on Ubuntu 18.04 in a VPS server.

I added a user to www-data group Set user home directory for /var/www

I'd like to login with this user on ftp/sftp and that's mainly for notepad++ so I could edit any content under /var/www including virtual hosts files...

I can't login with nppFTP plugin in notepad++ and neither on Filezilla!

Only when I was editing vsftpd.conf with terminal I managed to login through notepad++ but it only showed me /var/www folder' content.

I would be thankful for any tips or a functional vsftpd.conf allowing superadmin full access via ftp/sftp

P. S: I already enabled common ports in ufw. And been able to verify accessibility for this user in ftp terminal.

It was relied to connection mode and encoding! I had to set Active Mode in Transfers settings and force utf-8 encoding

The mess was on client side. Hope it could be helpful to someone
