FTP server

Can I access with FTP to the BitNami wordpress Virtual Apliance ?

I startUp the VMware virtual machine in a private network it take a right IP (192.169.×.x) all run fine but if i tray to conect with FTP (ftp://192.168.×.x/)the virtual machine not responding.

I need the FTP because if I need to install templates and plugin but wordpress ask me the FTP server adress.

TNK in advance

FTP server is not installed by default in the Virtual Machine but you can install it following this guide: http://en.opensuse.org/FTP_Server_HOWTO

You can access through SSH, take a look this FAQ http://bitnami.org/faq/virtual_machines

I hope it helps

OK, I access to VM with ssh for file transfert without any problem.
I din’t know ssh, I did not think was also used for files transfert.

thank you beltran..

That link is old and the article you mention has move. Please tell me how I can enable FTP access to my Wordpress installation so that I can do automatic upgrades and plugin installs through the Wordpress admin interface.

Hi,

I suggest to use a SCP program to copy files in the Virtual Appliance, for instance WinSCP. It is more easy and secure. Take a look this how-to

Maybe you missed my point. I want the convenience of installing plugins and performing upgrades from the backend. Wordpress is asking me for FTP info.

Oh sorry.

If you are using Wordpress greater than 3.0.2 this bug should fixed. If not try the following in the Virtual Machine:

$ sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs

And add the following line at the end of the /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php file

define(‘FS_METHOD’,‘direct’);

I hope it helps.
