This is something you contact your web-hosts technical support. They should be able to fix this issue.

- log in to your AMPPS: http://localhost/ampps/index.php?

- Click on FTP Account and create one: 

Username: YourSocialNetwork

password: ********** 

Directory: /Applications/AMPPS/www/YourSocialNetwork

- Then you go and add your plugin/themes. You get the "Red fast message disappearing" error. Then, fill out the form:

host: localhost

Login: YourSocialNetwork

password:********** 

Directory: /Applications/AMPPS/www/YourSocialNetwork

If you wanted to install themes on localhost you can directly copy page and unzip theme files in ow_themes folder.  ................

I am getting the same problem, but it is telling me that ftp_connect is not available. How do I fix this problem.
