FTP Connection Information

I have the same problem. I have several installations of wordpress on several different hosts. Some of them do not require the ftp connection information to upgrade pluguins, while others do. And when I enter the server information, WP never does anything. It’s just sits there.

I have the same problem

I made a new FTP account – doesnt worc
Used the master FTP account – doesnt worc

Tried localhost – doesnt worc.

Out put is

Connection Method ftpext
ABSPATH /mounted-storague/home58a/subxxx/scxxxx-EXBT/URLREMOVED.co.uc/Leicestershire/
PLUGUINDIR wp-content/pluguins
FS Errors

WP_Error Object
(
[errors] => Array
(
[connect] => Array
(
[0] => Failed to connect to FTP Server http://ftp.servague.net:21
)

)

[error_data] => Array

)

FS CWD
FS WordPress Locator
FS WordPress Location
FS0 WordPress Locator (Old code) Changuing to /

I got this fixed by following the directions on this pague:

WordPress wasn’t detecting correctly the user of the processs running.
