Due to various IT policies at my workplace, QGIS is installed on a machine that is not connected to the Internet. I wish to install a couple of QGIS plugins on this system.
I have downloaded the required plugins from http://pyqgis.org/repo/contributed. How do I install them in QGIS?

.qgis2/python/plugins
instead.The folder structure should look like this:
