This is really an awesome module! Unfortunately i almost gave up in setting it up.

I did not know what exactly to put in the configuration options:
1. I think a common mistake that i made was trying to use the IP or DOMAIN as "Hostaddress". Most users will need a hint that "localhost" together with their FTP username and password will work.

2. figuring out the FTP Path was trial and error. The combination with this issue: http://drupal.org/node/333864 made it even harder ;-) Is there any way to give a better help for setting this up? Maybe the use of <?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?> below the FTP Path settings? How is this connected?

Thanks for the great module!

@1: well, it defaults to localhost.....but, now ive added "Usually localhost" to the description text. Is that enough?

@2: The FTP path is by default automatically found -- specifying it is optional. If you do, it is just the path relative to your FTP root to your drupal install. Did you read the description text? Is it inadequate?

This is the apparent path to your Drupal installation for FTP. Leave this blank if you wish for the system to attempt to guess the correct location.
(ex: If the Drupal installation is at /home/user1/www and your ftp home is /home/user1 then /www would be placed here.)
