  • Hello,

    Well, by default any FTP server uses port 21, not 22.

    Depends your FTP client, and your host grants. If you are setup for 22, try to setup your FTP client to use port 21 too.

    Also, now most FTP clients (like mine) use SFTP, so you’ll probably need to use a keyphrase or so.

    Hope it helps,

    hi and ty for reply, i have my own dedicate server at home with debian 8, and after debian is installed ssh and ftp are on default port 22.

    i use filezila for ftp client, and all is ok on port 22, but i need to install automated directly form wordpress dasboard that backup.

    when i try this way i have that error, i think wordpress is on port 21, right?

    what i need to make in this case?

    MMM, not Debian expert bachusteam, can you try to connect like this:

    sftp://root@domain.com:22

    or

    sftp://root@domain.com:21

    What does it give you?

    where to put that adress? in filezila or in wordpress dasboard?

    I also use Filezilla, but I prefer WinSCP for complex logins like that.

    Well, just asking if it gives you errors maybe? (I have a few Ubuntu servers)

    hi, ty again,but in filezila is all ok, i mean i can con nect and edit file tc, but what i need is to use ftp from wordpress dasboard. becaus i need to install the backup made by that plugin.

    on this dedicat i don’t have cpannel
    i tryed your exemple with my domain name an the same problem.

    OK, I understand now.

    FTP from WordPress is at best clumsy, I mean you can’t move files directly from admin panel, or plugin is just a bad joke.

    FTP or manual is the way, really.

    Have a nice day,

    i tried this but i have error with mysql table prefix, for that i need that ftp. because that plugin will install good the backup.

    Default prefix is:

    wp_

    This is defined in wp-config.php file in full root of your server.
    If you defined “wp-“, it changes all database.

    Check that file, or rewrite database file (aka, wordpress.sql) with REGEX. It’s quite easy to do.

    Hope it helps,
