Remoting HTTPD Centos 7

Question

I'm using latest Centos 7 Minimal with CLI as web server. Web Server using httpd , and Database Server use MySql . I use vsftpd as FTP server from Windows to make me easy remote file and directory in that Centos. But I have a problem that vsftpd as FTP server cannot log in as root , so it's only directed into /home/[user] directory. But I need FTP access to the /var/www/html directory that contain all web files.

What should I do?

1. Any other way that I can use FTP access other than in /home/[user] ? or
2. Any other way that I can use to make default httpd DocumentRoot other than /var/www/html ? (I already change httpd.conf DocumentRoot but it says "You don't have permission to access / on this server." )?

Answer 1

I will suggest you enable root FTP login and try to upload your file to /var/www/html directory with root user. You need to remove root in /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers and /etc/vsftpd/user_list and restart vsftpd on your server to enable root FTP login.
