Hi again, I try to update a newly installed WP appliance, a form to be filled in shows up. I fill it in and mark sftp, but the connection is refused.
I have tried different as host: localhost, localhost:22, 192.168.0.195, 192.168.0.195:22.
User root and password.
Nothing works :S

FTPS = FTP over SSL
Glad you got it sorted, not sure how you'll go if you reencounter this issue.

The OP did not work for me, although after trying so many alternatives, it is hard to tell whether I have made a mess three times over that cannot be fixed.
Actually you only need to change permissions on a subfolder
Namely:
Also there is a tweak to do to the config file too (to make sure it doesn't ask - in some scenarios it will still ask...). In wp-config.php add:
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');Note: it must be added before the line:
