WP 3.0.3 / GoDaddy "Failed to connect to FTP Server"
-
After numerous installs, re-installs, GoDaddy (GD) tech support calls and WordPress (WP) forum searches, I am still unable to do simple things like install / upgrade / delete plugins or themes to my new blog. (I don’t have this problem with my older blog, also on WP/GD).
I am to connect to my FTP via FileZilla (FZ) and GD’s web-based FTP client just fine, so this is not an issue of incorrect info. Every time I make a simple request like upgrading Aksimet within WP’s admin, I am taken to a screen requesting the following FTP credentials:
Hostname
FTP username
FTP password
Connection typeI assure you with 100% certainty these items are being entered correctly. As stated before, I am able to access the FTP via FZ and GD’s web-based FTP client with no errors.
One thing I cannot do via FZ or GD is delete or add files to any directory or folder within the FTP. I suspect this may have to do with setting file permissions, which I am not all that good at. I am the only user of the FTP, and apparently my owner status is not good enough to modify files. I suspect this may be a culprit.
Any suggestions here? Thank you in advance for your help.
