I tried to edit .htaccess file via sftp on filezila (ppk file and etc) and it says i dont have permissions to edit\upload.
I have wordpress bitnami on aws ec2.
Can you help me please?
Thanks.
You have to make sure that the ftp user does have permissions to edit the files. If not then you have to change the ownership of the files/folders to the ftp user. You may also have to add your FTP user to the group of your web server user.

Senario, Google Shared drive full of documents, shared with the IIS server, server has a virtual directory pointed to a folder that is available locally on the IIS server.
Using Dropbox, I can set Security options on the folder and the IIS server has access to the folder, works great. Company wants to move to Google Drive, when I attempt this, the Google drive folder has not Security Tab option.
I have scoured around for answers but everything is about the API, this has nothing to do with the API.
I also created an account on the IIS server, gave the account Administration privilege's and I get this error: "Specified user cannot access path (d:\Shared\GoogleDrive).
Also, I setup d:\Shared because I can apply Security settings to the folder and was hoping it would propagate down but it does not.
I finally figured out how to do this:
On the server itself backup/sync the folder desired. This allows you to manage the security on the folder, which is lost with other approaches.
From the google drive web interface, select computers, select the desired folder and using the more options from the menu, "Add shortcut to Drive".
You can then share it across the companies established share structure as a shortcut and sync files easily to the webserver.
In my case these are forms and pdf files but the webserver needs security access to the folder and using the base line Google shares did not work for me. This way did.
I want to give read-write access to a specific folder in Azure VM to someone from his/her machine at home. I do not want him to give access to login to the machine, but some way so he/she can reach the directory and make changes. Any ideas?

According to your description, maybe we can deploy FTP on that VM. In this way, he/she can access this folder on internet, we can give them read-write permission.
Here a similar case about how to deploy FTP on windows server, please refer to it.
I run in to this block many times to figure out a way to share cpanel access with another user without having to give them my cpanel admin username/password. Is there a way to create an additional cpanel users. In this case its godaddy.com but I am wondering in general as well.
That way I do not have to share my own access.
Thanks.
As far as I know there is no other way (at least at this moment). This is a cpanel feature that would be available in WHM version 64.x
You can read more details here:
https://features.cpanel.net/topic/multiple-cpanel-logins-cpanel-subusers
For every account in cpanel environment it creates just a single user to access the cpanel administration portal , you can allocate multiple user for it.
However with FTP you can grant the access to the data if needed by creating multiple FTP user account.
As you said you are using shared hosting and in shared hosting you can not create another cpanel username/password.
But, my friend you can do one thing to (that is allow some limited access) you can create ftp account as number of ftp account allowed by hosting provider.
Your user can add/update/delete file for particular assigned directory.
Thanks
Hope! this will help you
I'm developing a site on a local server on my machine.
In this site when the admin logs in they are to be allowed upload a file to the server.
Currently I am logging into the site as admin and attempting to upload the file, however I can only upload when the permissions are set to 777 (NOT GOOD) and can't do the same with 775 or 755.
Is this just a case of adding the site's admin name to the same group as is admin on the server?
Sorry pretty new to this jazz, hence the ignorance!
Any help is greatly appreciated, cheers!
These are the current settings
I've created a virtual folder for a folder residing at C:\Documents and Settings\..\Data
Remote users are able to see the base folder of the FTP site, but are unable to see the Virtual folder. Is sharing a folder in the path forbidden?

If you use ADS server means you can create virtual directory by setting Username,Password in ADS and you can access in remote place through ftp with created username,Password.
or
If you don't have ADS means you can change the Default FTP site Directory path manually, and you can access it from remote place. please find the attached screen shot.
