 * Why do you want to use FTP to upload a theme locally? You could just navigate
   to the themes directory of your local WordPress install and copy and paste it,
   or use the theme installer built into WordPress.

 * When I try to use the installer, it asks for FTP credentials. I’ve tried everything
   I can think of and it tells me that it can’t connect. Any ideas?
