User with global privileges on VSFTPD / Ubuntu
I'm running VSFTPD on Ubuntu 18.04 in a VPS server.
I added a user to www-data group Set user home directory for /var/www
I'd like to login with this user on ftp/sftp and that's mainly for notepad++ so I could edit any content under /var/www including virtual hosts files...
I can't login with nppFTP plugin in notepad++ and neither on Filezilla!
Only when I was editing vsftpd.conf with terminal I managed to login through notepad++ but it only showed me /var/www folder' content.
I would be thankful for any tips or a functional vsftpd.conf allowing superadmin full access via ftp/sftp
P. S: I already enabled common ports in ufw. And been able to verify accessibility for this user in ftp terminal.

(1) What do you mean by "I'd like to login with this user on ftp/sftp and that's mainly for notepad++" and "I managed to login through notepad++"? (2) What do you mean by "it only showed me /var/www folder content" and "full access with read/write permissions on all /var/www content"? … … Please do not respond in comments; edit your question to make it clearer and more complete.

It was relied to connection mode and encoding!
I had to set Active Mode in Transfers settings and force utf-8 encoding
The mess was on client side. Hope it could be helpful to someone
