    I changed the port my server listens to from 22 to some obscure number. I also use a private key for ssh2 authentication I created in Putty Gen. How do I configure WordPress to allow me to just download and install plugins without manually downloading/unpacking/uploading them?

    Have you had a chance to try appending the non-standard port number to the hostname located in the connections dialog before you try make any file edits? e.g. your_host_name.com:xxxx (xxxx=your port number)

    Or you may be able to define an upgrade constant using the non-standard port number in wp-config.

    Example: define('FTP_HOST', 'hostname:port_number');

    I think that will work okay with SSH connections.

    Reference: WordPress Upgrade Constants

    [edit] everything I mentioned assumes that you already have the pecl ssh2 extension installed and operating on your server, and that the SSH2 radio button and “Authentication Keys” fields are available in the “Connection Information” dialog in the Dashboard.
