For some reason, FileZilla is uploading new files as the user I login as, as opposed to using www-data:www-data as it did in the past. This is causing issues because at times, it isn't uploading anything at all.



How do I restore normal behaviour?



UPDATE:
Changing the user back to www-data (see my answer) creates an issue where I cannot upload anything, because permission is denied. What could be causing this?

Found a solution, though not precisely what I'm looking for:



I added my own user to www-data, using sudo usermod -a -G username www-data, then set permissions to 755 for /var/www/*.



Not perfect, but at least it allows things to run smoothly.
