'various owners on the filesystem in WordPress - after updated and uploaded plugins
various owner on the filesystem - eg. on via dashboard uploaded plugins etc.
i am a user of wordpress for many many months - but since i am on sftp i was not able to use the automated update for all that time. Yesterday i have made this change to the config-file:
define('FS_METHOD','direct');

and this changed allmost everything - now its much more convenient to use wordpress. see: https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wordpress-upgrade-constants
WordPress Upgrade Constants:
Note: Define as few of the below constants as needed to correct your update issues. The most common causes of needing to define these are: Host running with a special installation setup involving symlinks. You may need to define the path-related constants (FTP_BASE, FTP_CONTENT_DIR, and FTP_PLUGIN_DIR). Often defining simply the base will be enough. Certain PHP installations shipped with a PHP FTP extension which is incompatible with certain FTP servers. Under these rare situations, you may need to define FS_METHOD to “ftpsockets”. The following are valid constants for WordPress updates:
FS_METHOD forces the filesystem method. It should only be “direct”, “ssh2”, “ftpext”, or “ftpsockets”. Generally, you should only change this if you are experiencing update problems. If you change it and it doesn’t help, change it back/remove it. Under most circumstances, setting it to ‘ftpsockets’ will work if the automatically chosen method does not.
...after doing that i am able to
- run automatic updates of plugins and
- installing plugins trough https://www.my-site.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php;
- install demo-content (from themes etc. etx. see below);
conclusio: its great to see what is possible and which options we have.

what makes me wonder - is that if we have a closer look at the files that are uploaded. they seem to have different owner!? - don ´t they.
see this image: 
why is this so?:
it makes me wonder - but yes: i can use all the uploaded plugins anyway. But i noticed that i have two sets of owner!?
Any idea why this is so!?
