 * Ok, So I have done my homework and noticed that someone had the same issue I 
   am having with Yahoo! and the file manager. I am trying to connect to my Yahoo!
   account via FileZilla and am unable to connect.
 * Following is the problem I am trying to fix:

 * My initial thought is because I installed WP as my homepage that FileZilla is
   having issues with the userid and password for WP vs my site userid and password.
   I have tried both, so I am thinking I need to sync my WP and Yahoo! account userid
   and passwords…..

 * Filezilla doesn’t really care about your WP username and password. It only uses
   the site’s userid/password.

 * I checked and logged into Yahoo! got in fine, then FileZilla and I can’t get 
   in…any thoughts on troubleshooting?
 * Thanks for the quick response.

 * To be honest, Y! kinda scares me 🙂
 * Is there a control panel of some sort as part of their hosting? I’d poke around
   there and see if you need to setup add’l credentials for FTP use.
 * I helped someone do a WP install on a Y! account recently and was able to FTP
   to it just fine. But they took care of getting the user/pass for me so I’m rather
   fuzzy on what was involved.

 * ok, so now this is really bugging me and I think it’s a bug:
 * Help files in Yahoo!
    [http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/pwdprotect/pwdprotect-03.html](http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/pwdprotect/pwdprotect-03.html)

 * I did everything to spec. You were right with adding FTP access. But I can’t 
   even login as the admin which works when I go through the Yahoo! webhosting admin.
 * I am about to move to Bluehost…..

 * I think this is the article you want: [http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/pwdprotect/pwdprotect-08.html](http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/pwdprotect/pwdprotect-08.html)
 * And personally, I don’t think you’ll find many volunteers here that’ll beg you
   to stay with your current host…
