As for the FTP, in your case, Joomla has nothing to do with this. FTP account is created on OVH and you connect with the account details using something like Filezilla | |
| Aug 20, 2014 at 15:37 | comment | added | MagTun | yes, I only want to move new .css and new .php from my computer to the ftp, or to edit the existing Joomla files. So the OVH manager is the one which allows Joomla to access to the ftp. That's confusing because for Joomla to access the phpmyadmin I have to set the new password in configuration.php | |

It depends what you're trying to do, if you simply want to move files from your computer to your Joomla site, then you do not need to enable the FTP in Joomla's Global Configuration. For this, all you only need to create a FTP account in your OVH Manager. | |
| Aug 20, 2014 at 15:28 | comment | added | MagTun | Thanks Lodder! I don't thing I have created a separate FTP account because I can't connect via filezilla with the previous password and I have updated it via the OVH manager. In Global Configuration/Server/FTP Settings, "Enable FTP" is set to No. If I set it to yes, then all the fields are empty: is that normal? | |
