I install a LAMP/Wordpress on Amazon EC2. The blog works fine. However on downloading themes, it asks me for FTP credentials. I try to chmod some folders but it didn't work.

I used to have a shared hosting for Wordpress and it never asked for FTP. So I think maybe there is some packages missing? So far I have installed:

apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin

I really don't want to install FTP server unless I have to.

Who are the owners and what are the rights on the folders? Where is it located? /var/www? – Bart De Vos Oct 21 '11 at 11:46
Just FYI - I know you have your own server/hosting on EC2 but I'm throwing this out there anyway: Wordpress.com does not allow FTP access. I think only WordPress.org allows it. See Wordpress's official document on FTP access... en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access – Ben Campbell Oct 21 '11 at 15:12
As another FYI - why did this get voted down? – Ben Campbell Oct 21 '11 at 15:17
hi ben, I believe you are right. the only way is to chmod – Xi. Oct 22 '11 at 18:56
