there might be a firewall setup on your server not allowing ftp/sftp connections – Paul Sheldrake Jun 22 '11 at 10:47
yeah...Paul told Correctly.Me also Faced this type of problem's before.... – Ramkumar Jun 22 '11 at 10:52
hmm ! Need to check with the server-admin for such cases. But he previously mentioned that - my site is hosted over VPS. ( I don't know much about VPS ) – Spark Jun 22 '11 at 10:58
+1 with pauls suggestion, i believe if you have a static IP that your server admin can allow that IP permission, will be other ways i imagine if not. – MartinJJ Jun 22 '11 at 11:31
:'( :( I got stuck. I am not able to upload plugins, neither manually nor using wordpress. – Spark Jun 22 '11 at 11:35

It's almost certainly a permissions problem - your wp-content folder must be writable by your webserver user.

Typically setting permissions to 755 will sort this.
