Quick Help..Do You Put The Prefix In When Entering FTP User?

Having problems installing EM? Let's fix that
Forum rules
DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

What prefix are you referring to rip2roar? You should enter the full username and password that you use to access your FTP Server. If you need a prefix in your FTP application, you probably will need it during the EM install as well...

For example

Username: prefix_rip2roar

or just the rip2roar

I'm having trouble with it because the username or password is the only thing it wont recognise

If your host tacks on a prefex onto your FTP username, that is what you have to use in the EM installation too. If you can't leave the prefix off when connecting to your FTP Server with a good FTP application such as SmartFTP, then EM won't be able to do it either...

Make sure the font case is identical too...
