User file/folder permissions for How to Install and Run WordPress on an EC2 Instance

[jont916]

After following this guide to update a plugin you have to SFTP the file, but if you add define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); to wp-config.php then it will bypass the FTP, which is great for a development site, but you get a write error when trying to update a simple plugin. I believe the user is nginx and the group is www-data but the following commands does not seem to give write permission in Wordpress to simply update a plugin.

sudo chown -R nginx:www-data /usr/share/nginx/html

Wordpress Update Plugin Error Message: Could not create directory. /usr/share/nginx/html/wp-content/upgrade
