Cant get to /opt/easyengine/sites/sitename.com/app/htdocs

I am trying to upload my php files to /opt/easyengine/sites/Sitename/app/htdocs

I cant get into app folder or htdocs folder. Nginx runs I can see welcome to EasyEngine. But.

I have write permission I am able to upload to the directory but cant get to /app/htdocs folder.

Any clue what is going on?

Are you navigating to that directory as non-root user? If so please checkout the following issue: https://github.com/EasyEngine/easyengine/issues/1340

Till that issue is fixed, please switch to root user and navigate to the htdocs directory.

Are you using SSH keys to connect to your server as root? Or a username and password?
