How Do I Find My FTP Username and Password for WordPress?

Finding your FTP username and password for WordPress can be a bit of a challenge. FTP is a protocol used to manage files on a remote server. If you’re using a desktop or laptop, chances are you’re familiar with FTP.

If you’re using a web server, FTP may not be available. In that case, you’ll need to find a way to access your WordPress files using a web browser.

To find your FTP username and password, open a web browser and navigate to your WordPress site’s root directory. In the web browser, type in the following command:

ftp user
ftp password

The user and password fields should populate with the username and password you used to log in to your WordPress site, respectively. If they don’t, check to make sure you entered the correct information in the FTP login fields when you originally set up your WordPress site.
