   I know this is a dumb question, but somewhere in my Dashboard, I expect to find where ftp connection information is stored. I need to change it. WordPress (I think) is trying to use my ftp info (eg, http://ftp.sitename.com) rather than the web site entry point (eg, http://www.sitename.com), which is where the wordpress subfolders are located. (I'm trying to install a Captcha plugin, but it keeps failing to find the right folders).

   So, Where is ftp connection information stored? Or, more tothe point, how do I change it?

   Thanks

   WordPress does not use nor store FTP information. What is the specific error message you are getting?

   On most sites, WordPress does not store your FTP details. It is able to access FTP directly because of the manner in which the server has been configured. If your server isn't configured to allow this, then you can store FTP login information in the wp-config.php file. See WordPress Upgrade Constants
