Wordpress asking for FTP info to install theme, but I have ssl passphrase.

Posted on August 3, 2013

I installed Wordpress on my droplet, and I want to install another theme and some plugins, but Wordpress is asking for FTP credentials. But I am using vsftpd and ssl to login with passphrase.

So what should I specify for the hostname? Should this be the ip address, or should it be mysite.com?

If I am using vsftpd and ssl with passphrase, what should I provide for the username and password?

Wordpress seems very difficult to setup on a droplet, but maybe its just me.

Thanks in advance.
