wordpress is asking for my ftp credentials for my web server (hostname, ftp username, and ftp password) in order to install a plug-in.
The server is just localhost. How do I discover or set my ftp username and password with the openssh port so as to be able to use sftp with it? (I searched for “openssh” in /opt but find nothing with that name there, so I cannot even see any config file for it!) > On 31 Jul2020, at 10:17 PM, Daniel J.
