# Plugin not supported

 * I am new to WordPress and having troubles using this plugin.
 * When I search File Manager on plugin list, it says plugin is not supported (my
   wordpress version is supported, though).
 * It would still allow me to download it, but activation is disabled.
 * My guess is that I need to set up some permissions in order for File Manager 
   to write to my website’s file system. I am using WordPress hosting service, and
   have set up and have access to SFTP. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Looks like this plugin is not supported because it allows users to delete essential
   files. Guess I should just stick with SFTP.
