HostName and Port for FTP?

  • Hello,

    I am having a Fiver help me change a couple things on my Lodestar page. However, when they are in the Editor, there is no ‘Update’ at the bottom after he inserted the correct code.

    I read posts, and found out that I need to change the files in my FTP to allow administrators to ‘Write/Edit’.

    Firstly, is that correct? Which files will I need to change to this permissions? All of them, or just a few, or one?

    I have poured through the ‘Codex’ article here…
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_FileZilla
    …on how to do this, but I have a Chromebook and can’t install Filezilla, but I do have access to other FTP programs, which I have tried, unsuccessfully to login to my sites FTP area…

    What should I type for my Host? My port?

    Ok, a last little piece of information, I originally built my site at https://www.wordpress.com/username , and after we were satisfied that we wanted to post it, we redirected our Godaddy purchased domain name to this built website. So now I don’t type WordPress.com/username to go to my site, I type in my GoDaddy web address, and it takes me there.
    I write this because I think, I may need to be typing my old WordPress.com/username to get into my ftp for my new website name. I’ve tried both when I am in Ftp programs but can’t get in.

    Any help greatly appreciated!!!

    Thank you Mr. Steve for the reply. It is hosted on WordPress

    I am trying to not reveal my page, so it doesn’t end up on search history that I built it myself.

    Thx

    I’ve never seen that work well… but I may be biased. We get a ton of Fiverr spam here.

    Nope.

    If you’re on WordPress.COM then there’s no FTP access offered. That’s not an option WordPress.COM though you can ask at their forums.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/

    WordPress.com isn’t supported here.

    If you site is on GoDaddy then you’ll need to get the details from them.
