Hi @huzanforbes,

Thank you for using Bitnami. The Magento’s files are configured to be owned by daemon, this way the application can be updated or you can install any extension using the app’s dashboard. In case you want to modify any file inside the installation, you will need to use sudo.

In this case, you can copy the new .html file to the home folder of the user, and then move it to the proper folder

sudo mv ~/huzan.html /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/huzan.html

Finally, please run these commands to set the proper permissions

sudo chown daemon:daemon -R /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/

Happy to help!

Hi @jota,

Thank you for your response. I understand this for one file, however, please let me know how can I copy full theme via sftp?

I’ll be looking forward for your support.

Kind Regards,
Huzan

Hi @huzanforbes,

The process to copy a folder to the current installation is similar to the one I described above.

  • Copy the folder to the home folder of the bitnami user

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/operating-servers-instances/upload_files/

  • Move the folder to the right place using sudo
sudo mv ~/newFolder /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/folder/folder/newFolder
  • Change the permissions
sudo chown daemon:daemon -R /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/

Let us know if you have any questions

Hi @jota,
Thank you for your response. Pardon my ignorance, but this code to change permission:

chown daemon:daemon -R /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/

will come to the SSH. What would be the login username on FTP?

Yes, you will need to access the instance through a SSH connection and run the command. The mv command needs to be run using a SSH connection too.

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/starting-bitnami-aws/connect_ssh/

We do not configure the SFTP settings to use the daemon user.

Regards
