This kind of errors occour because you have previously installed Joomla locally and then uploaded the Joomla folder to the remote server. By doing so you forgot to update all the parameters of your configuration.php file.

To fix the issue manually edit your configuration.php file and check that

1. line 26
   var $ftp_enable = ’0′;
   is set to 0. You don’t need FTP access to install plugins!
2. lines 27 and 28
   var $log_path = ‘logs’;
   var $tmp_path = ‘tmp’;
   have the correct path.  You should see in those paths those of your local testing machine instead of those of your remote server. Simply leaving ‘logs’ and ‘tmp’ will bring you back the functionality.

If you still have problems installing the plugins you may also check the folder permissions out. They should all have at least 700 (User permission for Access (execute) Read and Write.
