sudo chown -R www-data:myusername /var/www/vhost

then

sudo find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

I have a development server setup in my office and am trying to edit remote (from another computer.)

 

Server is running stock Ubuntu 18.04 with a LAMP configuration.

 

I have an install of WordPress at /var/www/vhost/test/public_html

 

The user is bill.

 

Editor is Visual Studio Code.  Connecting remote as user bill.

 

If I set ownership to www-data:bill (chown -R www-data:bill /var/www/vhost/) WordPress can write to a file and Visual Studio Code can NOT.

 

If I set ownership to bill:www-data (chown -R bill:www-data: /var/www/vhost/) WordPress can NOT write to a file and Visual Studio Code can.

Any help much appreciated!!
