Connection Information Needed

[Littletyler]

Just recently when I try to add a plugin to wordpress, I get a message that asks me to input Connection Information:

ftp host

ftp username

ftp password

I'm not sure what these are.

If my domain was http://name.com
and my blog url http://name.com/myblog

What would my ftp host name be?

FTP username and password are your main account username and password,. Of course, you can create additional additional FT users (username / password), give the new user permissions to desired folder( s ) (see your plugin details) and use those.

FTP host: usually: domain.com/foldername , at least if your plugin connects using the normal FTP procesures.
