2. Extract the ZIP File: Unzip the downloaded file on your local computer. This will reveal the extension files and folders.

3. Connect to Your Server: Use an FTP client like FileZilla or an SSH client to connect to your Magento server.

4. Navigate to Magento Root Directory: Once connected, navigate to the root directory of your Magento 1 installation on the server.

5. Upload Extension Files: Transfer the extracted extension files and folders to the corresponding directories within your Magento installation:
