No PROCEED button appears

Here’s the line that should be making it appear:

submit_button( __( 'Proceed' ), 'button', 'upgrade' );

Could you maybe post the contents of your wp-admin/includes/file.php file? The latest version of WordPress is 3.4.2 – I don’t have an available 3.0.5 installation.

Thanks!

That line appears near the end of sftp.php just as you typed it. According to the Codex, it’s supposed to call a function in templates.php in the wp-admin/includes folder. I searched that file for the function but it’s not listed there.

I have pasted my file.php below. I am a stickler about loading software from the repositories if I can at all do so. With this exception, the 3.0.5 in the Ubuntu repositories works just fine. I’ve tried to set up an FTP server on Ubuntu before. I haven’t been able to do so and have WordPress interact with it.

I can try a manual install of 3.4.2, but I usually tend to botch those somehow. Thanks for the help.
