FTP Connection Information
This installer can connect via FTP to fix the files that need to be writable and are not. If this doesn't work for you, you will have to go in manually and make the files writable. Please note that this doesn't support SSL right now.
What is this step for?
Some files need to be writable for SMF to work properly. This step allows you to let the installer make them writable for you. However, in some cases it won't work - in that case, please make the following files 777 (writable, 755 on some hosts):
- attachments
- avatars
- Packages
- Packages/installed.list
- Smileys
- Themes
- agreement.txt
- Settings.php
- Settings_bak.php
