How to Setup FTP to use in locally hosted wordpress

Well your Wordpress login and your FTP login are two different things. I have see that you use vsFTPd, so one easy thing that you can do it this :

gksu gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf

Add this at the end :

local_enable=YES

Restart your vsFTPd server :

sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

Now you should be able to connect to your FTP using your Ubuntu login.

For me changing the ownership of the wordpress folder solved the issue.

sudo chown -R www-data wordpress

Just add this line to wp-config.php

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

Then It will be OK.
