When I try to install a module it reports that 'Your provided drupal install directory is invalid. Please change it here'. I checked what was going on in the function ftp_plugin_manager_copy_library() and found that $local_path = '/home/bgunn/Drupal/intolatin/' , which is the correct installation path for Drupal. But for some reason it is still reporting that it could not be found.

In the end I found that if I enter '/home/bgunn/Drupal/intolatin/' as the value for ftp path under ftp settings, the plugin manager will work. This is contrary to what the instructions under the ftp path textfield say.

any ideas what is going on here?
