 * Hi, I’ve juts downloaded this plugin, and it won’t activate.
    my php is fine 
   its version 5.4. Ive checked the plugin folder and there is no file under includes
   called class.filesytem.php it wasn’t in the plugin file when downloaded.
 * This is the message i got when trying to activate: (I’ve removed the full url
   for privacy and replaced with /…./ )
 * Warning: require_once(/…./…./…./…./…./wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/
   class.filesystem.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /…./…./…./…./
   hostga/wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php on line 614
 * Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘ /…./…./…./…./wp-content/
   plugins/connections/includes/class.filesystem.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/
   php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /…./…./…./…./wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.
   php on line 614
 * Can you let me know whats wrong here, very important!
    Regards, Paul

 * The file is definitely in the zip download.

 * [Maybe try manually installing it with FTP.](https://wordpress.org/plugins/connections/installation/)
 * That way you can confirm without a doubt that the file is in the zip.
 * Hope that helps, let me know.
