I run the command chown -R root:1003 . in SSH and now when I try to connect to FTP it says Access Denied, what should I do to fix this problem ? The 1003 it's the group code for my httpacces folder. The httpacces is the location where I installed my Magento2 and I tried to make user root the owner of all folders and sub folders, the problem is that I can't access FTP even with root.

What's your web user? The files should be owned by this user.

e.g. if web user is www-data, you'd type this within the Magento root directory.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .

N.B, you shouldn't be using the root user for FTP (or ssh), create a sudo account and create your web apps via that.
