title: Magento Connect Manager & ftp write file permissions
body: <p>After transferring my site from development domain to a live domain I have tried to use the magento connect manager to install an extension, however I keep getting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CONNECT ERROR: Please check for sufficient ftp write file permissions.
  Your Magento folder does not have sufficient write permissions, which downloader requires.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have set my folder permissions to be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>root: 777
  
  downloader (and recursively into directories only) 777
  
  downloader/config.ini 666
  
  media 777
  
  media/downloadable 777
  
  var 777
  
  app/etc 777
  
  app/code/community 777
  
  var/cache 777
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also used the magento file permissions cleanup tool located at this post: <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions" rel="nofollow">http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions</a></p>
  
  <p>I have also flushed cache and disabled cache within the site for the moment.</p>
  
  <p>Still no joy! I keep getting the same error message - can anyone advise?</p>
