Drupal asking for FTP info when installing module?
Posted on 2013-01-08
I recently installed a LAMP stack (Ubuntu Linux Server) to run Drupal 7.
When I attempt to install a module via the web interface, I get prompted for FTP information?
I'm assuming this is related to some permissions issue?
How do I circumvent this FTP challenge so I follow through on updates and module installs?
See screen capture.

Also, take a look at DRUSH as a way to install modules in Drupal. It is very nice.

I use Ubuntu as well, and FTP is not installed by default. However, SSH is, which means you can use SFTP (SFTP is basically file transfer via SSH). If you have a login/pass for the server user account that owns the Drupal install, then you can most likely use it in that screen (change to SFTP, of course).
What Drupal is basically trying to do is log into the server and update the files for the module(s) that need updating. Before this feature, we had to SFTP (or FTP) into the server and upload the files manually.
If you do have shell access, which I imagine you are as the admin, I definitely second smadeira's sentiment about drush. Life is much easier with drush:
sudo apt-get install drush
