Hey Charlie or Richard,

Do you know where to change the FTP User and Password for Uploading and Downloading files to Wowza on the EC2? I’m not sure if I change it the Wowza conf files, ElasticFox or in the AWS Management Console within the EC2.

Thanks,

Derrick

You have to change it through ssh console, putty or whatever you use. Use the command:

```auto
passwd wowza

```
