Wordpress plugin development
I'm working on a very complex plugin for wordpress which a client requires.
I needed a local (internal nework) testbed which permitted me to use wordpress, and be able to update the plugin as I went along - after fighting with fedora for over a week (couldn't get wordpress to even install) I've decided to try this version - and wordpress is running.
What I need to know is how to set up the ftp to permit uploading to the wordpress installation.
Is there documentation here, or can someone please give some guidance?
If you connect (on port 22) as the root user you have complete access to the whole filesystem.
Depending on your usage scenario you may be better off creating a specific user account that is parrallel to the account that Wordpress runs under (www-data I think - the account Apache, MySQL and php run under).
