----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 In WordPress 2.5.0 and 2.5.1, plugin automatic update was working properly
 via FTP. I then decided to try the FTP SSL option and received the error
 message

 ''"Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the
 settings are correct."''

 So apparently my server does not support FTP over SSL. So I disabled the
 SSL option by setting "Use SSL" to "No".  However, I continued to receive
 the same connection error message as above.  The message would appear no
 matter what was entered into the FTP configuration page.

 I finally added the following line to my '''wp-config.php''' file:


 {{{
 define('FTP_SSL', false);
 }}}


 This caused the SSL setting within the plugin FTP updater to be
 overwritten with the correct value.  FTP updates of plugins began to again
 function properly after making this change.
