Hi! I created virtual machine and I want to login as a root, or other account, with all permissions, but I don't know where can I find details like that.
I need it because i want to connect to my vps via ftp or ssh.
Did someone know how can I do it?
Thanks for help!

Hi,
When you create a linux VM, the username that you chose is also included in the sudoers group and you can execute commands with sudo as root. The root account has no password for security reasons.
Hope this helps!
Okay so I can get root permissions using Command, but how I can get them via FTP? If I logged with my v
account, I don't have enough permissions to modify files and etc.
If you really need the ** root ** account you have to set a password for it (sudo passwd root) and then you can use it. You have to use a really strong and random password.
Hope this helps!
okay now it's working correctly for ssh, but I still can't login to FTP using root account. It says "access denied", although via ssh it's working normally.
Good news.
Now you need to troubleshoot this issue from ftp server perspective.
I cannot help you with this.
