 > Allow FTP details to be hard-coded

 Attachment allows for things such as this in wp-config.php:
 {{{
 define('FTP_HOST', 'localhost');
 define('FTP_USER', 'dd32');
 define('FTP_PASS', 'dfsdf');
 define('FTP_SSL', false);
 }}}

 You can define as many, or as few as wanted.

  * If a field has been define'd, then the input field on the dialogue will
 be disabled, and the hard-coded value displayed.
  * Upon an error connecting, The dialogue will be shown, However, All
 defined fields will remain disabled.
  * The password field never has a value filled in, even upon an error
 connecting, or a defined password, So as to not leak the password via the
 web interface (and potentially end up stored in a cache somewhere)
  * In the case of the FTP Password being define'd & an error occurs
 causing the dialogue to be shown, The field remains disabled and will be
 empty(even though the password is defined), and a note is shown beside the
 field: {{{_e('<em>(Password not shown)</em>');}}}
  * If ALL details are define'd, and an error occurs while connecting, The
 user will be directed to the ftp credentials dialogue with all fields
 disabled, but may attempt connecting again via the Proceed button, If the
 details are wrong, then the defines will need to be corrected, under no
 circumstances can the web form override the defines.
