Installing modules manually

[shackleton]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the TemplateExternalizer module. I downloaded the xml-file for version 1.0.4 from http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/?group_id=177 but run into problems with server permissions. That's
why I tried to install this module manually using a FTP-client.

First, I expected the module files to be located somewhere on the web but then I figured out that
all necessary data must be already encoded in the module XML.

How can I extract this data and create the module files manually? Or do I have to get access
to the "source" package that contains all necessary files (which I could not find on the project page)?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using a local server like xampp for extracting data (import should make no trouble there) and upload it then via ftp.

Thank you, that's a really nice trick using a local server (which does not make that trouble web servers often make).
