    comments: "You have to enable the section in the /etc/sftpgo/sftpgo.json file for FTP to work"

From the comment above you have to do the following to update the file.

Install nano editor and edit file using Unraid Root prompt (Not docker console!)

To run out of the console use this command

ddcoker ps # To find the ID of the container for the next line
docker exec -u 0 -it [Docker ID/NAME] bash

Then run the following to edit the file

apt-get update
apt-get install nano -y
nano /etc/sftpgo/sftpgo.json

Then exit out of nano

Ctrl + X
Y
