I would recommend FTP by a user, ssh to the host as user, become root and
move the files.

Enabling root ftp access

2002-12-04 Thread Lord Raiden
	Silly question.  Using ProFTPD, how do I enable access by root via FTP?  I 
need it only for short periods to be able to move and upload/update certain 
files.  I understand the security risks and the server will only need to be 
up for brief periods of time.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks.
