To set up FTP on the raspberry pi so that we can upload files for the website in wwwFirst, we need to have permission to access the www folder

sudo chown -R pi /var/www

Next, we install FTP

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Then edit the configuration file for vsftpd

sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

Make the following changes to the configuration file

anonymous_enable=YES -> anonymous_enable=NO#local_enable=YES -> local_enable=YES#write_enable=YES -> write_enable=YES#local_umask=022 -> local_umask=777#chown_uploads=YES -> chown_uploads=YES#chown_username=pi -> chown_username=www-data

Add the following to the end of the file:

force_dot_files=YES

Then restart the service:

sudo service vsftpd restart

Create a shortcut so that the www folder appears in the FTP root:

ln -s /var/www/ ~/www
