I apologize for the very basic question. I am unsure from the videos if both installs need to be done? What is the difference between the two?

17,878 PointsWell I managed to answer one of the two, so I passed. But he other question is: "To upload files to our hosting accounts, we use _______ software."
I thought this was FileZilla??

17,878 PointsJames, I'm not sure what you are getting at? Is it not an FTP software??
Stone Preston
42,016 PointsI was pretty sure FTP is the answer. is it not? filezilla is an FTP client.
James Ingmire
11,901 PointsIt was a hint in the post i gave earlier up on the post, pretty hard to get i guess. Yes it is a FTP.
Jennifer Crawshaw
17,878 PointsLOL! Ok, apparently I'm very slow today!! :-D

I can make sure the I have unique secret keys in the config file, and I always change the database prefixes to something a little more ambiguous than the default "wp-[table-name]". It's just a tiny extra layer of security the one click might not give you, since it would be harder to do harmful sql injections when the table prefixes are something custom.
