Vsftpd not working UBUNTU 18.04

[Riskaka]

i'm really bad at linux however have been able to setup a webhost, ssl and mysql, phpmyadmin on my ubuntu 18.04 digitalocean server, I also setup a vsftpd server however it's not working as I expected it to work because permissions are not working. Whenever I do anything in /var/www/mydomain.net (my local root), it gives me an operation failed error. It worked before I changed the local_root to /var/www/mydomain.net (before that it was
/home/$USER/ftp)

If anyone can help me out please add my discord: Riskaka#9992

I don't have time to help you with vsftpd but one quick solution would be to install Virtualmin to setup everything for you and provide you a panel. Its especially good for someone who is also inexperienced with linux to get it setup and running quickly. Also it will provide you a beginner friendly way for you to manage your server so you don't have to rely on third parties to help you!

Thanks for giving me a suggestion however I forgot to close this thread as I found a solution, I did not know about sftp however I asked around and a user forwarded me to sftp and yeah it's solved now. Thanks though.
