    Hi guys,

    Is it possible to configure FTP so I can access all folders rather than one site only.
    if so.... how?

    No, thats not possible for a simple resaon. Every website runs under its own linux user and even if you would be able to access all of them by FTP, the uploaded files would be owned by the wrong user.

    The only way to access all folders with one user is to use the root user and a scp client like winscp. But be aware that you have to change the owner of every uploaded file to the user and group of the website on the shell afterwards.

    Hi, there should by way for do it. I need move files and folders from server to server, all have ispconfig ubuntu structure [webs, emails, DBs].
    I create normal ftp user by ispconfig, there in mysql DB find his line in ftp_user table, and change dir to /var
    Now i can see all VAR folders and subfolders with this user in filezilla, by cannot read files.
    There is way for change UID and GID for this FTP user? Where in system are permissions and privileges for ftp users?

    Post #2 explains why it is not possible and how to achieve what you want to do, there has nothing changed in the past 9 years. I'll close this topic now.
