I would also really like to fully understand my localhost IIS server.I would also like to know how to set my IIS up so when asked for the ftp credentials I can put in the info & have it work that way too! However very many thanks for your very helpful reply My only issue is I'm not sure what this is or what I really did apart from following your instruction! I would like to understand all this 'jiggery-pokery'! I add Authenticated users & gave them full permission. I followed your instruction on my WordPress blog that MS WebPlatformInstaller(WPI) installed for me and (ta da!) it worked as you said-ie it autoupdated to the latest WP version without asking for the ftp credentials. Hi mauri- many thanks for your very helpful reply. Has any WordPress IIS localhost user experienced this and dealt successfully with this ftp autoupdate? I tried 'localhost' or path to the actual wp Wordpress folder (/Applications. I know the username and the password but I don't know what to type in hostname. remove plugins it keeps asking me for the following: hostname FTP username FTP password. What I really want is to enter the correct ftp credentials for WordPress on IIS and have it work and autoupdate to the latest version.Дoes anyone know what ftp credentials I have to use to get this done please? I have installed xampp and wordpress, which I run on my local host. I do not really want to edit wp-config.php. I have asked for help with this on WordPress forum, WordPress codex, IIS7 forum, googled & tweeted for help to fix this and found no answer! There are several threads about the issue but most say the fix is to enable read write folder permissions and there is something about using web.config file and also editing wp-config.php. (eg ftp://localhost- IUSR -site password etc etc). I try putting in the credential values but keep getting no response orД®RROR: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.Д¬redentials asked for are Hostname/FTP user/FTP password and I have tried all manner of credentials I think might be correct but obviously are not. I have checked that read write permissions are enabled on the wordpress root & wp-content folders. I have FTP server enabled on IIS (users IUSR and Richard). I have WordPress installs in my IIS localhost server on Win7 desktop done manually and with WebPI install.Both installs are under IIS default website.Д®ither asks for FTP credentials when I try to auto update to the latest WP version.
