I am attempting to restore a site that lives on the local host. 

  • website url: localhost/metropolis
  • ftp hostname: http://127.0.0.1/metropolis
  • ftp username: admin
  • ftp password: admin
  • ftp directory: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs

Web sharing is on. MAMP is on. 

This error occurs: 

FTP connection has failed!Attempted to connect to http://127.0.0.1/metropolis/ for user admin

I can't figure out what to change to do this via the local host. Can you help please?

Thanks,
Karen
