FTP server root access

How to access server root (with root password)? Server reject root password, but admin username/password (sftp) doesn't allow upload/modification.

You don't want to go there. Root access over FTP/SFTP is not a good idea. I recommend using a normal user login, upload to a temporary location your normal user has access to. Then login via SSH, su to root, then copy files/change the permissions/whatever as root.

Limiting ways someone can login as root is always a good idea. I don't even allow SSH2 login directly as root. I always su to root from a normal login.
