Try manually installing the library there with
ftp, ssh or similar.

You're mixing up the module CKEditor and the
library CKEditor. Former is a standalone Module
(http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor) and can be
installed in sites/all/modules, later is a library
used by the WYSIWYG Framework
(http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg) and should be
installed in sites/all/libraries/ckeditor.

You should not use both the standalone version and
the wysiwyg Framework version. Choose one.

Use the WYSIWYG-IMCE Bridge
(http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg)
