BTW, if you change CHMOD to 777, you need to change it back to 755 for security purposes.

I face the same problem.

After trying few times, I figure out how to do it.

hostname is your generic URL address.
For example : If your blog is https://www.panicanxietyaway.com/blog/
then your hostname is panicanxietyaway.com
your username is the name you use to log in to this hosting account and so do the password.

I am using WP 2.8.6 and I did not change the permission to 777. It remains at 755. I did nothing on CHMOD. All works fine.

Hope that helps.
