The way I worked around this was to chown all of the files to the user
of the webserver and modify the permissions. That way I don't require to
enter in the FTP credentials.
I may mention that I have access to shell and root, which you might
require in order to use my solution.

Yes, I can see that the new owner of the installed plugins through the
plugins installer is "Webserver" instead of "You". But since I can't get it
to work with getmyuid, I'll just have to see if posix_getuid will cause any
future problems.
Any suggestions appreciated though

I'm using servage.net hosting and I'm having problems with auto updater.
I've found a workaround her:

By changing the below string in wp-admin/include/file.php
if ( getmyuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
to
if ( posix_getuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
I'm not aware of the exact consequences, if any, but it solved the problem
in both 2.6.5 and 2.7-almost-rc-9965
If the above string could be changed permanently it would be of great help
to users with the same problem.
Not sure thats wise.
getmyuid — Gets PHP script owner's UID
posix_getuid — Return the real user ID of the current process
The purpose of the code you have changed is to determine whether or not the
updater can use direct file access to update the files whilst still keeping
the permissions suitable for you to be able to access the files by ftp etc.
This is why we use getmyuid as that gets the owner of the files - i.e. you
Using posix_getuid probably gets the webserver user which means you don't
own the files any more!
You should still be able to do the upgrades/installs using one of the ftp
filesystem abstractions.
