FTPS: Unable to locate WordPress Root directory

[scribu]

Using a nightly from a few days ago, I get the above error when trying to do a core upgrade.

Also, it only lets me use FTPS.

It was working last week.

Do you have the FTP extension available?

When you say it only allows you to use FTPS, On the credentials page, it only has 'FTPS' or is 'FTP' there, but grayed out?

Do you have a FTPS Enabled server? (Do you know?)

Do you have FTP_SSL or FTP_SSH defined in wp-config.php (at all?)

I just noticed that the FTP_* constants are only checked via defined('FTP_*'), no checking of the value.. I'll get a patch for that, Not sure if its your problem however.

FTP is there but grayed out.

I assume I do have FTPS, since it worked before.

I don't have FTP_SSL or FTP_SSH defined in wp-config.php

When I try to upgrade a plugin, I just get the notice:

Notice: Use of undefined constant FTP_TIMEOUT - assumed 'FTP_TIMEOUT' in /public_html/wp/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 85

I added define('FTP_SSH', true); and the FTP option is no longer disabled.

Upgrades now work, with either FTP or FTPS selected.

• Logic inversion..
• Added some extra checks for constants being defined as false
• s/FTP_TIMEOUT/FS_TIMEOUT/

Tested the patch on the said server and it seems to be working without me having to set FTP_SSH in wp-config.php
