Wordpress permissions conflict with www-data and ftp
Running: Ubuntu 18.04, Nginx 1.14
I read somewhere that running Wordpress in 'fs_direct' mode is a security threat, so I wanted to completely scrap that idea and stick to a local ftp server instead.
Here's the issue, I have the two users, www-data (what the server can run/see) and webftp (what Wordpress can upload through vsftpd). I can't have www-data run full permissions for obvious security reasons, but I need webftp to be able to write.
What is the BEST way to run these permissions side-by-side so they don't interfere with one another?
While I am good at most things linux, linux permissions are very confusing to me, so please be patient :)
