File permission on Amazon EC2 with both Filezilla and WordPress

1 Views

  1. I can allow user ec2-user (Amazon AWS) write access to the public
    web directory (/var/www/html): 

    sudo chown -R ec2-user /var/www/html

    which allows me to use Filezilla.

  2. And I can allow apache write access by: 

    sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

    which allows me to install plugins, updates, etc on WordPress.

How can I set the permissions to be able to do both?

  1. Try the following:

    1. Create a group
    2. Add both users to that group
    3. Make the group own the directory
    4. Change the directory group permissions
    sudo groupadd mygroup

sudo gpasswd -a apache mygroup
sudo gpasswd -a ec2-user mygroup

sudo chown -R apache:mygroup /var/www/html

sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html
