 * Sir,
    I have installed wordpress on my host, and in cause of editing my site 
   I have downloaded a theme and a plugin. But I could not found the downloaded 
   theme and plugin in my wordpress content theme and plugin. And the ftp that I
   use in transferring the files sail files transfer successfully. Is there anything
   that I had done wrongly? Help.

 * 1) You said you downloaded a theme and plugin. Did you then UPLOAD the theme 
   and the plugin to your webserver?
    plugin goes to /wp-content/plugins/ theme 
   goes to /wp-content/themes/
 * 2) If you already did that, did you upload the zip file you downloaded, or did
   you extract the folder from the zip file and upload the folder? WordPress will
   not extract the folder for you – you must upload the folder, not the zip file
 * 3) If you did both of these things, check to be sure you uploaded to the correct
   folder on the webserver – you should see the folders in in
    /wp-content/plugins/
   and /wp-content/themes/
 * If you do all that, WordPress should find the files you uploaded.
