It simply asks for your Server FTP account information. If you installed WP in a hosting, then you should already have it. Call your hosting provider to get it. dont complicate things, just find your FTP info and insert them – SG_Rowin Feb 17 '16 at 06:39

I don't use ftp - ftp is horrible - I have not used amazon recently but had similar issues on other hosts that were solved by me making sure that the www user had ownership or write privileges on the www directory – Matt in Washington Feb 17 '16 at 06:44

You will need to install an FTP server (vsftpd through yum is easy enough - a simple guide is at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-centos-6--2), create user credentials, and create a security group rule to open port 21 to 0.0.0.0/0 (unless you know the host from which Wordpress will connect to your site and in that case restrict the security group rule to that IP address).
