 * You probably are doing nothing wrong. There could be security measures in place
   that prevent WP from manipulating the file system as it normally would. I suggest
   contacting your host’s tech support for help in resolving any security measures
   that might be in place.
 * Since you can connect via FileZilla, as a workaround, you could upload all the
   individual plugin files via FileZilla. Once the files are in place, you can activate
   the plugin from the WP plugins admin screen.
