    if you have SFTP then follow below steps:

    sudo chmod -R o+rw /var/www/html    /* Location for  folder or file */

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/         /* Location for  folder or file */

    If you are trying to give the {user} as well as the www-data both access to the website directory try this

    //without {}

    sudo usermod -a -G www-data {userName}

    #This adds user to www-data group

    //set permissions for user group www-data

    sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html

    //followed by

    sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html

    this will enable {user} to use SFTP with the FileZilla or other programs to read and write files in the directory without sudo
