Hi,
Is it possible to execute a SUDO -i or SU to allow the SFTP to upload as a different user id?
Reason I ask is it makes it more convenient to upload files that are supposed to be owned by the web server, for example on Ubuntu www-data.
If I can switch to that user I don't have to mess around with changing the owner and permissions after I upload a file.

SFTP protocol doesn't allow to change user. To solve the problem you can try starting SSH/SFTP server with access rights of superuser.

I found a simple solution.
I just added a new non privileged user and set it's user and group ID to the same as the web server, since my app only uses one user it works perfectly.

It is good to see that this problem has been solved.
