Error in installing theme in Drupal 7

Question

I get the following error while installing a theme in Drupal 7 by URL input at theme install form :

Failed to connect to the server. The server reports the following message:
Cannot connect to FTP Server, check settings

For more help installing or updating code on your server, see the handbook.

What might be the problem? Where am I going wrong? Installing theme by downloading and putting it into sites/all/themes everytime is annoying.

The following code worked for me,

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/drupal(or your drupal web root name)/sites
