    My apache VPS is having a minor problem.

    Using SSH, I gave permission to my FTP username with code below:
    chown -R user:ftpgroup /home/site

    But my WP theme needs to set up that user I use is rewritable and use this code:
    chown -R www-data:www-data /home/site

    since using a php code to check WP user and it shows www-data.

    MY PROBLEM:
    I need my FTP to able to write cause i use plugin to create backup and change plugin. My theme also need for both to work.

    I can't seem to make run together. I can change group or FTP as long as I can have m WP working. Any suggestion as to what I need to create?

    You are setting ownership not permission. What about to set ownership to www-data.ftpgroup?

    To change permissons use chmod.
