I’m hosting a wordpress site on ec2 and I’m trying to update my theme through the admin screen. Its asking me for Hostname and ftp username and password. Is ec2-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:22 my hostname? I tried along with ec2user and root for my ftp username but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Your hostname would be
ec2-107-20-192-98.compute-1.amazonaws.com.Your username will be the username you use to SFTP to the instance normally – ec2user for some instance types, ubuntu for Ubuntu AMIs, etc. EC2 generally doesn’t use passwords, preferring SSH keys, so you’ll have to set a password for your account by doing
passwdon the commandline.
