I now need to ftp some files to my new app server. I am using the role "app-apache64". Is FTP even running on this role? If not, how do I get it running? I downloaded my X.509 certificate from my AWS account and tried to use it with the username "root" with my FTP client program, but the result was "access denied". What am I missing?
