Context:
I have an Ubuntu-based web server on which I have disabled the root user so I can authenticate as a regular user only. The sites are hosted in the /var/www/html folder, but when I use MAMP PRO to browse the server (in the Transfer tab of a site), I’m locked in my user home folder. No tricks such as symlinks or mounts are working.
Question:
How am I supposed to set a path on the remote server outside the user's home folder?
Possible solution:
Let me manually enter a path in the Transfer tab, like ../../var/www/html/site-name, or at least let me browse from the root of the file system somehow.
