Thanks @girish this totally worked.

Steps:

Option 1: Create a new skeleton folder

• add directory /app/data/skeleton using web terminal
• chown www-data:www-data skeleton
• add files to the directory, also chowning themto www-data:www-data
• open config file with vi /app/config/config.php
• insert line 'skeletondirectory' => '/app/data/skeleton'on a new line (i to enter insert mode)
• press esc, then :wq and <enter> to write and save
• new users will receive the contents of /app/data/skeleton on first log-in

Option 2: NO files added on first log-in

If you just want to remove the default skeleton (no files added on first launch), do the following:

• open config file with vi /app/config/config.php
• insert line 'skeletondirectory' => ''on a new line (i to enter insert mode)
• press esc, then :wq and <enter> to write and save

An update. I goofed and it's working now. My first try I navigated to app/data/.htaccess and there was no

<IfModule mod_php7.c>

I noticed that there is both and htaccess and a .htaccess and I was in the incorrect file.
