Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello, I have a Centos 7 instance runing in Lightsail. Installed Vesta successfuly and main domain configured and working.
I also have access to Vesta Panel on port 8083. However, I can't get access via FTP.

This is my client conf:
Protocol: sftp
Host: my IP
Port: 22 (open in lightsail firewall)
Username: admin
Passwd: my passwd

This is the error:



when I login using lightsail Private Key, I can't browse the user's folder, because permissions.


My FTP conf:


How Can I give vesta users ftp access in lightsail?

Port 22 is SSH. Use port 21 instead - default FTP port.

SFTP protocol not related to FTP server. For SFTP you should use private key for login in this case.

Using por 21 I got this error:
"Error changing directory to /home/admin
Failed to change directory"

permissions I guess, but which ones?

Use admin credentials for ftp/ftps login.
For ssh/sftp see How To Configure SSH Key-Based Authentication on a Linux Server for example.

How can I generate it for each username?

You should login to console as needed user.
You can allow ssh access for user via VestaCP.

Also, if you use Windows you can use Putty tool for this. After generate private key you should add public fingerprint into authorized_keys file for related user.
