Setting permissions for MagentoConnect can be a little tricky at times, especially in a production environment. The best, most secure way to go about installing Connect updates is by using Pear.
SSH in to your server, head to the Magento install directory and issue command:
./pear mage-setup .
DON’T forget the trailing . Next install the Connect you require…
./pear install magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern
Where “magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern” is the key taken from MagentoConnect.
You need write permissions with your shell user in the theme and skin directory.
