greenace92 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I rent a VPS and I've always transferred files by FTP through port 22. I don't think I have any sort of FTP service enabled on the sever. I'm trying to connect to my local web server and I'm not getting through. I'm not sure if port 22 is open. I am not able to simply right click and open as root the directory /var/www/html where I could simply drag and drop files as opposed to using Filezilla. Currently I manually copy each file into /var/www/html by bash. So what am I missing? I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum, I don't know where to put it.

greenace92 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I found a solution, instead of trying to use Filezilla to connect to the local web server, just open up the file manager as root though bash. Then the file transfer is as easy as drag and drop.
