Installing Wp-Plugin without FTP Access

I have wordpress site on my server which only uses sftp.

I want to install and upgrade plugins, but it appears that you are required to enter your ftp login to install the plugins. Is there a way to install and upgrade plugins by manually uploading the files instead of having wordpress handle the entire process?

You can install a plugin by simply uploading to the plugins directory and unpacking it. '/wp-content/plugins'. Note that you will still have to enable the plugin normally in Wordpress admin.

Add 

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

to your wp-config.php
And it will be fine
