I got Wordpress installed and running on my server. But I'm having problems adding plugins. When I click on install, I entered my FTP info and get the following message-
ZitatDownloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/theme-check.20151211.1.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory.
I also tried directly uploading a plugin from the computer and got-
ZitatUnable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
How do I check or make the directory writable? I'm familiar with chmod through FTP and changing permissions there, but I'm a noob to linux and FTP has more info other than what I'm use to.
My shared folder is wordpress and Wordpress was installed into that folder. /media/cc314677-ebb3-485c-867e-73a1b2b64a2c/wordpress
Thanks
