 * What you’ll need ot do is download a copy of the plugin again, un-zip the files
   and use FTP to upload them to your server. This will over-write any changes that
   you’ve made before, but you’ll get your site back.
 * One thing to remember is that modifying plugin files is pretty much the same 
   as editing core files – it really shouldn’t be done! The next time that plugin
   updates any changes that you’ve made will be lost again anyway, so it’s better
   to try and do things other ways if possible.

 * It is not recommended to edit plugins unless if they are your own. My suggestions
   is to download the plugin to your desktop and then use a FTP client program such
   as FileZilla and upload that file to the server.

 * ok, i can’t manage to make a FTP connection, i think is disabled from the server
   end, i contacted the host provider to see if they can do anything, hopefully 
   they won’t take long to reply, thx for the quick response you guys, i’ll make
   sure not to mess with the plugins next time
