I updated wordpress to 2.7 today and found something different in the plugins list. If a newer version of a plugin is available it says: upgrade manually or automatic upgrade.
When I click automatic upgrade I get a new page with some fields to fill in:
-Hostname:
-Username:
-Password:
-Connection Type:
What information is requested here? What do I need to fill in here? I tried to find an answer in the 'online' docs, and support forums but couldn't find an answer.
TIA,
Eric

I've wondering this myself and unsure why none of the forum posts have made this clear. Simply fill in the details for your blog. Thus...
Hostname = myblog.com
Username = the FTP user account with admin rights (the one you'd use to upload files via FTP)
Password = password for the above account
Connection type = choose regular FTP or Secure FTP
Go nuts.
