Please go to the step before that and post the Expanded Debug Info from the link at the bottom of the page.

And please do not bump so close to your last post. We're not extremely fast workers around these parts.

This error occurs frequently, particularly on hosts like Lycos. Back on step 1 you should try changing the FTP Server from 'localhost' to whatever hostname you typically use when you FTP.

That's what it says and I see that it cannot connect to the localhost. What does it mean localhost?

Use "server" as your write method, leave the FTP path field blank, enable FTP debugging, and post your debug info if it doesn't work. Please do not use code tags to post the debug info.

Try leaving the FTP path field entirely empty, and see if that solves it. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what the problem is.
