   FTP Server: server address usually an IP address for http://ftp.yourdomain.com
   FTP User:
   FTP Password:

   If you don't know those values, consider asking your host.

   I'm trying to install a new theme and when I am prompted for my connection information I input the same ftp server, user, and password as I use to connect in dreamweaver, but this information isn't working inside of wordpress. What am I missing?

   Hello dessertolicious,

   Dreamweaver generally uses FTP credentials to establish a connection to the web server, so the credentials you are using should be fine. I would suggest contacting your hosting company to verify the ftp server, username, and password for your blog as it is possible that your blog is hosted on a different server apart from your web server.

   See if you can doing like informed here: http://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.
