Thanks Jim,

Yes, I run nginx as www-data; I just meant creating files and folders by
root. My own PC run on Ubuntu; thus I connect to server through OS
explorer. I connect to server via sftp with root user. Then, when I
create a folder or php file its ownership belongs to root. I just asked
if it is necessary to create each and every file and folder by nginx or
site user? or it is OK to be owned by root?
