# Automatic upgrade problem… again!

 * There was a time where I was able to automatically upgrade the plugins by entering
   the hostname, username and password into the WP Admin Panel but this has now 
   decided to stop working – nothing has changed with my server.
 * I am getting the following error:
 * Failed to connect to FTP Server myhostname.com:21
 * Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
