To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.
It show three input boxes for Hostname, FTP username, FTP password while installing easy SMPT

<?php
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
?>

796 PointsSir if I add that define then can i send emails from localhost

19,870 PointsThat define will allow you to update wordpress and add plugins without using ftp.
Sending mail from your local wordpress instance is a separate issue. You mentioned SMPT you should probably check out their documentation. Here's a link I found doing a quick search, but I haven't tried it.
