I just downloaded WordPress.org for my blog and am trying to add plugins. Everytime I try to install a plugin, WordPress asks me this:
Connection Information
To perform the requested action, connection information is required.
Hostname
Username
Password
Connection Type Connection Type FTP
FTPS (SSL)
Is there a way to do this through the command line?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem.
Not sure if my web host has changed something. I have previously installed on the same server without this problem.

You can actually configure those in wp-config.php. Just add these lines:
define('FTP_HOST', 'host');
define('FTP_USER', 'user');
define('FTP_PASS', 'pass');

I'm having the same problem. However, I can't enter the information from inside the WordPress admin. Updated the wp-config.php file...but no go. I'm on a Mac using Firefox. Would that have anything to do with it?

See if you can doing like informed here: http://www.kgarner.com/blog/archives/2009/06/13/direct-auto-update-on-wordpress-2-8/
In my case, I've just pasted the code on the last line of wp-config.php
I don't know if the below information is really required, but here is what I informed:
Host: ftp://name.com.domain
Login: same as used to access CPanel (ask the service provider if you have any doubt).
Password: same as used to access CPanel.
It works for version 2.8+, as seen in the site above.

I am trying to install Stats and the Connection Information does not recdognize my user name and password (although it obviously allowed me to login or else I wouldn't see this screen).
Is there a separate set of login information for the Connection Information Screen?
