Did you try to navigate to

/var/www/html/your-domain-name.com

there’s nothing like that on my root directory after I login using FileZilla. Or I need to give access to it in other to be able to access “ /var/www/html/your-domain-name.com” directory? If yes how do I go about it

Are you using Apache or Nginx?

Did you set up a virtual host?

Does the domain resolve on the web? What is the URL?

Why are you logging in as root? You should have set up a usr account and log in as that. Using root is just too dangerous.

What do you see in the FileZilla screen after you log in? Print it here if you can.

hello sir

i'm new to all this that is why and i was able to set up worpdress by watching youtube videos.. i'm using ubuntu with openlitespeed wordpress installation..whenever i login to filezilla using root the only thing that comes up is

root

  • .cache
  • .ssh
  • .wp-cli

and my website url is 9animemkv.com

and please is there a way i can set up different username and password to access filezilla? maybe that will solve this, if not do i need to delete my site, backup and reinstall wordpress using apache or Nginx.. i'm totally confused sir

I've find a way around it, i can now see the wordpress files using filezilla. thank you so much
