Hi Im Benz, I’m very sleepy x,

—————————————————————

In Backstage I get temp console session then login with putty (ssh client windows)

The ssh console shows that public_html and public_ftp are in root (~) directory…

There is another level above root…

root@th [~]# cd ../
root@th [/]# ls -l

total 116
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Mar 22 10:02 ./

drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Mar 22 10:02 usr/
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 22 03:04 var/

and I think that root is in home this seem backwards to me….

Any ways…
—————————————————————-

now Iam tring to add my self as a user cause I don’t know how to say i am root less (again not sure) type:

root@th [/]# su

—————————————————————

so I try and create a user called benz addhim to a group (what is a group??)

and set him a password like this:

root@th [~]# useradd benz -s /bin/false -d ~
or:
root@th [~]# useradd benz -s /bin/false -d ~/public_html/
or:
root@th [~]# useradd benz -s /bin/false -d ~/public_ftp/
then:
root@th [~]# gpasswd -a benz users
Adding user benz to group users
then:
root@th [~]# chmod g=rwx ~/public_html/
root@th [~]# passwd benz
Changing password for user benz.
New password: *****************
Retype new password: *****************
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

OK!
—————————————————————

so now to Cyberduck

ftp://benz@[my-domain/site-ip]:22

type my pass (^ the one I just set and says passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.)

Button then I get 503 access denied…

How do I start FTP upload my files with Cyberduck as normal?

Thank you, I have ice coffee now and some tape to stop my eyes from involuntary shutting and will continue to try to learn this… please help if you know answer x
