hi,
i am trying to open the ftp port on a laptop that was originally configured as a workstation but i have added the lamp stack to it.
i access it from the web at http://alonzofretwell.com:1235 (localhost) using port forward.
i am setting up wordpress in it and it mostly seems to work okay but when i try to install a new theme using the link above as the host name. i have tried both root and my user name as the user name and password. i am geting the error...
[QUOTE] Failed to connect to FTP Server alonzofretwell.com:1235 [QUOTE]
a quick port scan of localhost shows that only smtp, www, ipp, and mysql are open.
subsequently i think i need to open the ftp port on the localhost.
please advise
