Thanks!!
Ownership is {my-user-name}:www-data
Permissions is 775
I added {my-user-name} to the www-data group : usermod -a -G www-data
{my-user-name}
/etc/group has an entry www-data:x:33:{my-user-name} which I assume
verifies {my-user-name} was added to the www-data group?
I can SFTP and I can remote edit using my editor, however WordPress asks
for FTP credentials when I try to remove a plugin.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
