I havent tried it yet but if you get the plugin extracted to your pc then ftp the plugins up to pw_plugins (the complete extracted folder) it MAY appear int he available plugins bit of the admin panel.

I haven't tried this yet but it seems logical.

I tried doing that. for example, i tried doing it with the birthday plugin. the only things that are zipped in each plugin folder seems to be the language files. so i unzipped the langs.zip folder, and i copied and pasted the files in that folder into the ow_plugins folder for birthdays. i then went to the admin panel and tried to install the birthday plugin, and i got this error:

htdocs/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/language_service.php

can anyone help? from looking at the plugins, the only files that are zip are in the language folder. could someone tell me where to manually place these files when i upload to my server? if i could just unzip them on my computer, and then load them to the correct file path, then maybe that would work. any suggestions?

Sorry, but I strongly recommend you to change your host provider, if it doesn't compatible with server requirements. Language dump must be present as zip archive only.
