Setup Wordpress Ftp for Local Development

Ever encountered the issue of setting up an

FTP server to allow you upload, update themes and plugins on your local/development version of wordpress?

Well, there is a simple solution to that.

Simply edit your wp-config file by adding this piece of code anywhere in the above mentioned file.

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

This should sort you out.
