For the purpose of web site development and testing, I installed apache2 as a local http server on another machine in the LAN.
The default web page directory is /var/www . Of course, this directory is owned by root. I would like to use an ftp client such as ncftp or lftp to upload web pages to the local server, just as I would upload pages to the server of a commercial hosting outfit. But I do not wish to use the root password for this purpose, even within the protected environment of the LAN. Where in the apache configuration may this password be set? And is there any difference between the account/password for the apache administrator and the account/password of non-anonymous apache users? I have not encountered this question before, inasmuch as the web hosting outfit simply provides me with an administrator password.
