Debian 8 server. all updates applied.
Followed carefully the wiki.debian.org/WordPress instructions. Now WordPress says askimet plugin needs to be updated, but that ftp fails. I can't update plugin without having a ftp server apparently. Otherwise WordPress works great. how do I update the plugins. wouldn't it be dangerous to have an ftp server? Or is there some instructions out there for setting up a secure ftp server that works with WordPress. I have no experience with ftp servers.
