You put the plugin in wp-content/plugins on the server.

Once you login to your admin page you will see Plugins in the upper right corner. Pic

In Cyberduck you just click on the Open Connection icon in the upper left and then you enter the server address and your username and password.

If you are using a free account on wordpress.com you don’t. You can’t install plugins and you don’t have ftp access.
