 * Yes you can upload your theme through ftp (in wp-content/themes) folder
    for 
   the ftp error you should contact your hosting company as such u should have your
   hostname as : beautywidbrainz.com username: password:
 * R u using filezilla or similar software / do you have access to control panel
   of your server

 * This is not really a WordPress issue, but rather one for your host. There are
   a bunch of reasons for this error, although typically it is one of the following:
    - FTP is not configured or enable on your host machine
    - There is a firewall that is blocking access to FTP on your host machine
 * Give your host a call and ask them how to access your site with FTP, they will
   help you out, and if they don’t pick a new host.
