Posted September 17, 2013 26.6k views
Hello, i have installed wordpress on my droplet. I have also installed zpanle and configured iptables. I cant get ftp to work through filezilla which is no major issue. But i need FTP to work through wordpress for the uploaded of pictures etc. Can someone please tell me how i can get FTP to work? Do i need to add/remove rules from iptables ?

wordpress supports sftp, may as well learn how to get that going than to fix ftp, which is long deprecated, like 20 years ago.

@cameron Do I have to do anything besides install the plugin? I’ve already setup my droplet.

Hi,
You can connect wordpress one-click install, via ssh port 22 using your (private & public) key method .

Hi, i’m also struggling with this issue.
Through SSH i connect with my droplet terminal, no problem.
For uploading files, Filezilla, no problem.

Installed the WP ssh-sftp-updater-support plugin, but i won’t let me in.

Slightly confusing terminology, tried both: FTPS / SSL or SSH2.

I won’t let me FTP to my Droppy.
