It's hard to tell from the screenshot but it seems as though you might be trying to use your cPanel credentials to access the ftp server.
Have you set up an ftp account for your site ? You can learn how here : http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/ftp_account.htm
You can also make sure that filezilla is configured properly here : http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/ -> select the filezilla one and you should be good to go.
You should have a different credentials for your hosting account and ftp account than you do for your WP site.
Hope this helps ! kj

7,369 Pointsits everything exactly as on cPanel, nothing works. the host name is the same as it should be . I looked at the video and did the same informations but mine on there . So his login is wordpress and his site is *****... so i did the same but for mine and don't work.

13,116 PointsYou get the ftp details in an email, so I am not sure what you mean by it being as on cpanel. Since you have cpanel, why don't you use the other faster method instead? Are you doing the 5 min technique to make your site/blog more secure?

13,116 PointsThe lesson before the one you are currently doing shows the easier method, since you are doing it for practice purposes you can set up WordPress with that method.

13,116 PointsIf you already did the course successfully you don't need to do the 5 minute one as that is a 2nd way to do the installation instead of using the 1 click one.

7,369 Pointsaa so basically the on installation is the same as the 5 minute? because as my mum says she can't change some colour and it takes her on that course?
Gloria Dwomoh
13,116 PointsGloria Dwomoh
13,116 PointsYep. It is a 2nd way to install WordPress, so if you have already done the 1 click, you don't need to follow it, as WordPress is already installed.

7,369 PointsWhat my mum said is that when she goes on later video , Zac tells her to go and instal the 2nd way because if you need to change some colours od h1 or header or whatever , my mum need to access the code and change it there on that FileZilla or whatever is that.

13,116 PointsIf your mom is going to make a custom theme as it teaches in some later courses then eventually she will need filezilla, but if you have done the 1 click, that means wordpress is already installed. When you set up your domain name you'd get an email telling you congrats you have set up your domain name in the hosting and some details...one of them is the FTP and it looks somehow like this...
*** FTP ***
Username: yourwebsite.com
Password: EUHSYAA#
Server Name: 72.177.44.11 (or ftp.yourwesbite.com when your domain is transferred)
these are the details you must use for your FileZilla, not the ones you use to log into cpanel
