 * Hi Bert,
 * Please check out [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_Upgrade_Constants](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_Upgrade_Constants)
 * Basically, you may need to integrate the following information…
 *     ```
       define('FTP_USER', 'ftp_username');
       define('FTP_PASS', 'ftp_password');
       define('FTP_HOST', 'ftpdomain.com:21');
       define('FTP_SSL', false);
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.
