Hey,

I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I installed Oxwall via my Cpanel software I wasnt asked for FTP details on the install.

I need to add them to the Admin section so I can update plugins etc But I am unable to find the setting page anywhere?

Am i being totally stupid or something ? or are they hidden?

Many Thanks for any help.

usually FTP access details matches your CPanel access details, however you can create new ones: https://docs.oxwall.org/...d-plugins-and-themes

as I noted before usually FTP access details are the same as CPanel, as a Host indicate "localhost" and your Cpanel access details (username/password) also check the tutorial link I provided you

Click update one of the plugins plugin and follow the steps provided to you, in one of them you'll be asked to enter your FTP access details

i have 6 plugins that need updating non of them forcing me to enter the FTP details :(

Is there a file that has the details or somewhere in the MySQL I can just add it?

Also just as a test I've installed Oxwall manually and still not FTP questions on setup.

Anyone else?

you dont get asked to set up ftp details, it is your c panel log in, just enter your cpanel log in when prompted to update plug ins/platform

Sy, did you check whether you have FTP module enabled in you php?
go to ow_includes folder/config.php file
right after this:
<?php

insert
phpinfo();

Go to your website. You'll see info about your server configuration.
Check the ftp section:
FTP support: it should say enabled or disabled.
