 * I use a custom ssh port and there appears no option in the admin dashboard to
   enter this so how is it I install the Google AddSence Plugin as you have to either
   download it or upload it from admin cp to install as simply unpacking it and 
   putting it in the plugins directory does nothing?

 * Did you try `hostname:custom_port_number` in the Hostname field of the Connection
   Information dialog?
