 * After learning about the ‘FTP_USER’, ‘FTP_PASS’, ‘FTP_HOST’ constanst that can
   be [declared ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)in wp-config,
   I’m wondering if that is effectively what this plugin did? What is the advantage
   to using this plugin, or was it created before those WordPress constants existed?
