Wordpress Plug-ins Question.

    I created a new self-hosted wordpress blog and i am now wanting to add various plug-ins, but i keep getting an error message in my FTP, after i download the plugins. The message is below:

    Checking files:
    * File all-in-one-seo-pack(2).zip is OK
    Transferring files to the FTP server:
    * Processing archive nr 1: all-in-one-seo-pack(2).zip
    o Unable to extract the files and directories from the archive

    Why aren't the files and directories NOT being extracted? I have a personal blog, that i download plugins to regularly, and never have this problem. I don't know why i am getting this error on this new blog.

    Can anyone advise?

    Mhm, that makes sense, uncompress the files and upload them as uncompressed in the plugins directory.

    With Net2FTP, the files are automatically uncompressed, and then transferred to server. Why would it be any different with this new blog? I've attached a screenshot of my panel, if this helps anyone help me.
