    Sorry if this is a dumb question I am new to wordpress and learning how to back up with your plugin. I am getting an error because it cannot connect to my FTP, I think I entered the wrong information next to FTP server:

    I had my ip address there, but I think something else goes there. Can you advise please?

    it created archives fine – it just could not connect to my FTP (Filezilla)

    Thanks

    Linda

    can anyone help me please… I am still not sure how to set this thing up… I cannot find any “how to” documentation either.

    Help please or I am deactivating this thing.

    Tht is the folder on the FTP server where the file will be stored in.

    did you have a space on the end of the ip or is it only here in the forum?
