I just took over a website for a client. I can access the wordpress backend to build and manage the site, but when I log into GoDaddy is says nothing about being hosted. Can anyone give me insight on this topic?
Sounds like a situation where you might FTP in an upload the files that way. See if it has FTP support.
If so, download Filezilla (freeware) and login to the IP address with your username and password for the site. If you get in, you can upload and overwrite files that way and they should be live instantly.
I also recommend calling or using the online chat function of GoDaddy. They can probably tell you how to manage the site.

I've installed wordpress local on my computer with xampp, it's working but now I need to transfer my wordpress.com on my wordpress local. I want to add an extension but it's asking me my FTP credentials and I'm not finding them nor succeeding in creating some. I've tried the different things I found on your forum (chmod, define FS method) but it's not successfull, when i try to download an extension, it tells me that it can't be added to the file. How can I do it please ?
Thank you :) !
If it's asking you for FTP credentials to transfer it through the web, that won't be possible as your site is not reachable, it's only installed locally. This is doable by adding some extra software to make your site accessible, like ngrok.
Instead of that, why don't you use the site exporter?

Additionally, if you have a Business or eCommerce plan, you can use a plugin to export your site, like enter link description here
I wanted to see what this reason could be. When entering my site: https://boonmodels.com/
It doesn't log in, it just downloads some strange files.
I have not touched anything, will it be a problem of a virus or something similar?
the site is made in wordpress.
I hope someone can help me, thanks!
If your site is suddenly downloading files instead of visiting the page, do not open them.
Are you on shared hosting? Either way, contact your hosting provider immediately. Hopefully they have a backup to a time before it was doing this and can restore. They might also be able to confirm what the contents of the files would be without you endangering your own computer.
I used to run into this problem with shared hosting on GoDaddy. I now no longer recommend Wordpress unless you are on your own Virtual Private Server or with a managed hosting service like WPEngine.
I am trying to move a site from Yahoo Small Business to a local hosting company. I am able to log in to the host with FileZilla.
I have also downloaded the files from YSB and have them locally. But the local hosting company gave me a test host and I cannot access cPanel to upload the files. Also, when I try to put the url.com/cpanel I get directed to the home page of the current site still listed with Yahoo. I have imported the files from my computer to the new host via Filezilla, but I'm not seeing anything and can't log in.
I am unable to change the DNS of Yahoo to the test host.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I agree with #yohoprashant that you will need to do a few work arounds until you migrate your DNS. Most hostign companies will give you a temporary URL (IP address) and which should give you access to cPanel and testing your initiatl WordPress install. 111.111.111.111/cpanel
Wordpress has a great step by step that you should be able to follow once you get the basic WorkdPress install either through the download or cPanel install. Check it out here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
We have a linux based server through which we offer a hosting service. We have a problem with WordPress and other platforms. each wordpress site asks FTP accounts every time you install WordPress, themes, add ons or to try to upgrade it .
We need to get write access to the wordpress , joomla , drupal , etc. platforms automatically when its installed to customers server space via softaculus .
I have no experience of the hosting service, im just make websites, and I've tried to make the ftp accounts wp -config file, but it does not fix the other customer sites and when added to the wp -config file, it is not the best solution (Still asks for a password when install theme, add ons or update anything)
Sorry for bad english. can anyone help me to get this problem fixed?
We need write acces for: Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Magent ETC bases. We have c-panel acces for every customer and softaculus installer for wordpress etc platforms
When you get the error message, web server needs to get write access to the WordPress files. So you can add write access to the files, I think the problem will resolved.
If you couldn't add write access to the files, you would contact your hosting service center.
It's most likely the permissions problems here.
You need to be sure that your webserver can read all files and folders in the web root folder and you need to make every user the owner of each folder and files.
Using cPanel it should be done automatically when you create FTP user and providing it's home directory. If you have a mess with permissions already you may need to edit them manually. You can try to set 644 permission for all files and folders and then change owner to the actual user.
Look here for more information about file permissions on Linux, it should help.
Its been fixed, I set on apache write access different so its now working probably!

i have a blog stored in Wordpress.com and I'm not very familiar with this yet. I really need to upload a folder from my computer (inside there is some html and js files) but the wordpress doesn't allow FTP access (I guess).
How can I solve this issue? Is it possible?
Maybe some administration plugin..
Thanks in advance.
Word press does allow for FTP access I use microsoft web expressions 4 quite often.
Check out this site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla or post your problem.
Thanks
Edit** missed your .com my mistake http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ confirms your claim. HTML and JS are not allowed on wordpress.com a workaround may get you banned. Best to check with their support first.
You would need FTP access to your server that Wordpress is running on then you would need an FTP client like FileZilla to transfer the files
