My goal here is to be able to use my iPad over my ssh port to pull down files, edit them and save them back. Also, upload new files when I am at my desktop. With /var/www/html owned by root:root and me loggin in as 'jason' I cannot accomplish this. I don't allow root logins over ssh... So I think that something needs to change. Would I change /var/www/html/<my domain> owner to myid:mygroup? I am not sure the famifications of this and how Apache would behave, etc. -Jason -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
