Downloading Plugin & WP Requests Connection Information

  • I just downloaded www.remarpro.com for my blog and am trying to add plugins. Everytime I try to install a plugin, WordPress asks me this:

    Connection Information
    To perform the requested action, connection information is required.

    Hostname
    Username
    Password
    Connection Type Connection Type FTP
    FTPS (SSL)

    Is there a way to do this through the command line?

    Thanks!

  • I am having the same problem.

    Not sure if my web host has changed something. I have previously installed on the same server without this problem.

    You can actually configure those in wp-config.php. Just add these lines:

    define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘host’);
    define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘user’);
    define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘pass’);

    I’m having the same problem. However, I can’t enter the information from inside the WordPress admin. Updated the wp-config.php file…but no go. I’m on a Mac using Firefox. Would that have anything to do with it?

    See if you can doing like informed here: https://www.kgarner.com/blog/archives/2009/06/13/direct-auto-update-on-wordpress-2-8/

    In my case, I’ve just pasted the code on the last line of wp-config.php

    I don’t know if the below information is really required, but here is what I informed:

    Host: ftp://name.com.domain

    Login: same as used to access CPanel (ask the service provider if you have any doubt).

    Password:     same as used to access CPanel.

    It works for version 2.8+, as seen in the site above.

    I am trying to install Stats and the Connection Information does not recdognize my user name and password (although it obviously allowed me to login or else I wouldn’t see this screen).

    Is there a separate set of login information for the Connection Information Screen?
