Apache 2 is set up and now want to add ftp

Hi,

Someone has set up Apache2 on a office PC running Ubuntu 20.4 and one WP site is available on the net and seems to be running okay.

whilst I have tracked down where the directories and sites are installed, I need to be able to get access to the via FTP so I cantry and set up more sites.

My web experience is only with WHM and CPanel on shared hosting and building sites.
I am a little okay with Linux and there is Zorin 16+ on the PC.

How can I set up FTP so I can access the sites please?

You probably need vsftpd.
There are a lot of tutorials:

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/set-up-an-ftp-server

 

You can install an FTP server like vsftpd or ProFTPD on Ubuntu 20.4 to enable FTP access to the directories where the WP site is installed. You may need to configure the FTP server to allow access to the necessary directories for setting up additional sites. Make sure to secure your FTP server by following best practices to protect your server and data.
