[Plugin: WP-InstantBackup] FTP Settings invalid!

    I’m probably doing something incredibly stupid, but I can’t get WP-instantBackup to work at all. When I put my FTP details in and press save, I get the following: “FTP Settings invalid!”

    This is what I’m inputting:

    Host: http://ftp.mydomain.com
    User: user@mydomain.com
    Password: *******

    I’ve tried dropping the “ftp” under host. I’ve tried using “+” instead of @ under user. I’ve double checked everything. Nothing is working.

    I have FTP access all the time. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my server. Is this a permissions problem? Should the host path lead to a specific folder? Do I need to specify “public_html” and the like?

    I’m lost! Help!

    NOTE: WordPress.org just added http:// to the value of what I am inputting in the Host field. I’m just inputting ftp (dot) mydomain (dot) com

    Hi immanence,

    Is this your own web host or are you hosting your site with WordPress.org? If you want I can hop on MSN or something and help you get it working. 🙂

    You shouldn’t need to specify public_html anywhere…for example here are my settings:

    Host = backups.mydomain.com
    Username = user@name.com
    Password = *******

    Notice I don’t specify the http:// or ftp:// anywhere..just the hostname. Can you try the following for yours, without “ftp” anywhere?

    Host: mydomain.com
    User: user@mydomain.com
    Password: *******
