Please help, I’m sure I’m not the first to get stuck on this issue. I’m really not sure how to figure out what’s causing this issue or how to solve it. Do I have to be part of both groups? I don’t know how to add multiple groups to one user - could this be the issue? Authentication with SFTP server software encrypts data in two ways. I have tried to add the user “admin” to group apache and wheel groups but no luck using 'usermod -G apache admin' command. SFTP server software makes use of SSH and requires a dedicated SFTP client for performing the file transfer. I have disabled “root” log in and as such when I use “root” via ssh i can run the sudo or su- command to accomplish what I need, however I am unable to perform such tasks in filezilla.Ģ. I can successfully add /remove files and folders in the user folder “admin” however if I move up a directory level or want to go to /var/www/vhosts/website to add or edit files I get a permission denied warning. Here’s my problem: When I use the credential of “admin” to log in to the server via SFTP using filezilla using a private key log in (which requires no password). I created a user “admin” and have added them to the sudoers file with (ALL) permissions as though they were root. Permission denied (publickey).I have a centos 6.6 server running and have disabled root login. Warning: Permanently added '104.155.198.171' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
