don't know my ftp credentials

[cassium]

I installed lucid lynx about a month ago. with I installed filezilla and I have wordpress running on localhost.

When I do an automatic on wordpress it asks for ftp credentials. I don't my ftp credentials. I was not aware that I had ftp username and password. I am not sure if that means I installed the ftp server without knowing. my root password does not work on this.

I tried searching through wordpress forums but most of them show me how to set the ftp username and password in wp-config file so that it doesn't ask for it every time.

How can I find out the ftp username and password on my computer.

Filezilla it's a FTP client.
Wordpress expect that you have a FTP server running.

You can install plugins manually, and for a local installation it will be quiet easy, just put the plugins in the proper path under wp_content
