i tried:(
while using webinstall method it asks for ftp info.
what should i enter  in these fields

you would have to contact your host if you dont know your ftp information, it may also be listed in your hosts control panel.

Try the site url as server. 

[DSK-Googler]

it says

"Unable to connect to FTP server with this combination of details."  this error is because of server,port,usrname,passwd fields

"Sorry, the FTP path you entered wasn't the same place as this installer was uploaded to." this erro is because of install path field

[aishaweb]

try   /public_html  as the install path
