You can now transfer files to the XAMPP server using the steps below:

Change the ownership and permissions of the htdocs/ subdirectory of the XAMPP installation directory (typically, /opt/lampp) so that it is writable by the the new ftp group.

Add your account (in this example, susan) to the new group.This group will contain those user accounts allowed to upload files via FTP. Open a new Linux terminal and ensure you are logged in as root.Ĭreate a new group named ftp. Make sure to start the service from XAMPP control panel -> manage servers.įurther complete instructions can be found at localhost XAMPP dashboard -> How-to guides -> Configure FTP Access. XAMPP for linux and mac comes with ProFTPD.
