 * 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
