 Currently, If after connecting to the FTP server, WordPress cannot locate
 a Directory it needs, It'll simply error out, Requiring the user to define
 a few constants.

 Instead, If the directories cannot be located, a message should be shown
 requesting the path of the directory. This should be shown along side the
 login credentials for future access attempts.

 Fool-proofing will be required to prevent users entering the incorrect
 path, For example, Writing a file to the directory needed, and checking
 from within PHP that the file exists with the correct content.
