title: Can I install/update WordPress plugins without providing FTP access?
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress" rel="noreferrer">WordPress</a> on my live server which only uses <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFTP" rel="noreferrer">SFTP</a> using an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell" rel="noreferrer">SSH</a> key.  </p>
  
  <p>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? </p>
