Recently I was facing issue using regular ssh connection (no public key auth) to hostgator using the command ssh myname@mysite.com -p 2222 > Too many authentication failures for myname This is the command to use when you want to enter login/pwd: ssh myname@mysite.com -p 2222 -o PubkeyAuthentication=no

In my local wordpress install on ubuntu (12.10), wordpress was always asking for FTP credentials (and not on my windows 7 box) when installing a plugin or updating wordpress from the Dashboard. Here are the steps that works for me to fix that: cd /var/www sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpress
