I've configured Wordpress on an Ubuntu server v18 and assigned all files and directories the group www-data and assigned them to the user www-data: this way I should be able to update Wordpress from the web interface.
I'd also like to edit files using FileZilla od PHPStorm and to connect to my server I use sFTP.
The problem is that, as the files and directories are assigned to www-data, I cannot edit or remove files and directories.
I've tried to add my user to the group www-data, but I'm still not able to edit or remove them.
How can I set permissions, users and groups in a way that both Wordpress and I are able to edit and remove files and directories?

The best method (in my opinion) would be to use /etc/crontab to start a script or a service with a directorywatcher. The latter is very easy to make with the watchdog module in python.
In that script you would then first make a timestamped backup before moving files to the webservers directories. Both /etc/crontab and a service would allow you to copy the files as the user www-data.
A directorywatcher would watch over the FTP directory you use to put files on the server (and that would be a dedicated directory not related to the webservers directories). That makes it a bit more secure too.
