 * I have a server configured with FTP with TLS, I have configured FTP user and 
   password in wp-config.php but WordPress doesn’t connect, probably because it 
   has to accept the self-signed certificate. The problem is I get no prompt for
   this, like I do with Filezilla, for example.
 * Is there any way to solve this?

 * Please show your FTP user and password code in wp-config.php

 * I already did this with:
 *     ```
       define('FTP_HOST', 'xxxxxx');
       define('FTP_USER', 'xxxxxuserxxx');
       define('FTP_PASS', 'xxxxpassxxxx');
       define('FTP_SSL', false);
       ```
   
 * I also tried with FTP_SSL true, but nothing changed.

 * Have you reviewed
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_Upgrade_Constants](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_Upgrade_Constants)
 * There are quite a few other constants there.
 * Looking at articles and posts about this issue,
    ‘FS_METHOD’ needs to be set,
   and the codex also explains that this should be changed if you have problems….
