    I don’t think you will be able to automatically install any WordPress plugin that way on your local machine unless you are running an FTP server, and I think you would know if you were.

    You will need to install it manually by downloading the plugin Zip file and extracting it, then place the gotmls folder into your plugins directory in your wp-content and then you can activate the plugin from within your WP Admin.

    Hi Eli, thanks for your answer.
    Yeah, you’re right, it seems wordpress tries to connect via ftp to the download server.
    I’ve found this issue can be solved by including this code line in wp-config.php in order to assure the direct connection in local instalations:
    define('FS_METHOD','direct');
