Web server issues

[Yorus]

Hello!

First of all, I should say that I have this problem with a Synology NAS, but it is still a machine with Linux that I can connect to with SSH, and besides, it is a topic that has never been entirely clear to me when installing web servers on Debian or Ubuntu.

To the point. In this case, I wanted to set up a blog on my NAS through the web server it has, which is also nothing more than Apache. The web is set up here at:

/var/services/web/ 

In order to complete the CMS installation wizard, I had to make the http user the owner of the folders and files, and at the same time, I had to make two specific folders have the permissions set to 775. From there, I completed it and it already works. The problem is that since I am not a normal user to upload files (whether by SSH, SFTP, SMB…) I have to do it with a user from the NAS, and this makes the uploaded files belong to this user and not to http, so every time I have to enter as root and fix it.

What is wrong with my way of working? How should I do it? You can explain it to me as you would in any more common Linux.

Thanks!

Well, it's something that happens to me and I've never thought about how to solve it. In my case, every time I upload something, I have to do a chown -R www-data:www-data /carpeta_web/.

But since it's something I do very occasionally (in fact, almost never), I haven't stopped to think about how to do it another way.

The same is that there really isn't a clean and direct way to do it, hehe. I'll keep looking and if I find a better way to do it I'll mention it here.
