   Hi,

   I have successfully installed wordpress on my linux VPS and am at the stage where I want to add plugins.

   On the connection information page I am asked for:

   hostname: http://ftp.essexbabycakes.com
   ftp username: admin
   ftp password: ********

   I keep getting the error "Username/Password incorrect for admin" but I have tried the exact same credentials in filezilla and they work fine.

   I am using the wrong format? Does wordpress change the details in any way? do I need to add a domain name to the username? do I require a ftp://????

   Any idea what I am doing wrong?

   Many thanks.

   John
