So even when I use no path and select OFF for Create Upload Path I get this error: [INFO] Can’t change directory to /npp.6.7.9.2.Installer.exe: No such file or directory * So the FTP part of the plugin is not working at all. * 🙁 * Thread Starter [lobsterdog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobsterdog/) * (@lobsterdog) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ftp-create-upload-path-doesnt-work/#post-6304146) * The error I get on the browser for both times: Upload failed!

All you need to do: 1. Replace the wp-file-upload/lib/ wfu_io.php file with the code I attached 2. No matter what, you have to add : 21 (or the ftp port you use if different of the default 21) Like: username:password@serveraddress: 21 on your FTP credentials 3. Enable Passive Mode * Tha’s All! * Code: * ``` $pos1 ) { $ftp_username = substr($ftpdata, 0, $pos1); $ftp_password = substr($ftpdata, $pos1 + 1, $pos2 - $pos1 - 1); list($ftp_host, $ftp_port) = explode(":", substr($ftpdata, $pos2 + 1)); $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_host,$ftp_port); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_username, $ftp_password); if ( $conn_id && $login_result ) { $flat_host = preg_replace("/^(.*\.)?([^.]*\..*)$/", "$2", $ftp_host); echo $flat_host." "; $pos1 = strpos($path, $flat_host); echo $pos1." "; if ( $pos1 ) { echo $path."

But because I needed a different port, I implemented on my modification. It would be nice if you copy this code into the next versions so I wouldn’t need to re-do it. 😉 * Thank you, * Thread Starter [lobsterdog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobsterdog/) * (@lobsterdog) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ftp-create-upload-path-doesnt-work/#post-6304395) * Nickolas, Just came here to say thank you. I updated the plugin yesterday “by mistake” and than I thought: shi*** I will have to implement the port thing again. But I realized you had inserted my code on the update. * Thank you so much, Igor * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ftp-create-upload-path-doesnt-work/#post-6304403) * Ok you are welcome * Nickolas Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘FTP Create Upload Path doesn't work’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-file-upload/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3252590) * [Iptanus File Upload](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/reviews/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ftp-create-upload-path-doesnt-work/#post-6304403) * Status: resolved
