Connection Information

You need your FTP connection details: ftp host, ftp username and ftp password.

I’ve tried with the ftp info (I’m hosting with Network Solutions so that’s the info I use) and it just comes back as “can’t connect using the ftp info”. I can connect using the exact same info via Fetch and Dreamweaver. Why not WordPress???

Try this:

It solved my issue. I am hosting on my own server, but it seems to work for everybody.

I have the same problem. I have entered the same info as i do normally with file zila.. host name user and password. but it comes back with error or user name and password is not correct

plz help me

Folks,
Can someone explain why such credentials are needed ? Seems like a potential security hole to me – especially when some hosters don’t differentiate between shell access credentials and ftp/sftp.
Thanks
